Across its surface, hand-worked iron branches seem to grow in from the edges, scattered with leaves and joined by a small bird in flight. Look closely and the maker’s hand is everywhere, from the irregular outlines of the leaves to the subtle bends and variations in each slender stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect changes completely once the light is turned on. The frosted glass becomes softly illuminated while the botanical ironwork falls into silhouette, almost like looking up through branches against the sky. Even unlit, the transparency of the glass allows the shadows of the ironwork to become part of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s remarkable that a piece of this scale and delicacy has survived, particularly with its original curved glass intact. More architectural object than conventional light fixture, it carries the specificity of something made for a particular interior and never intended to be reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This piece is not electrified and was designed to hang beneath an existing ceiling-mounted light source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51298403287351,"sku":null,"price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/URICsVGIUqzgRoLbVzhkOvfvSirwemLWzyn8orPmmcY.jpg?v=1787605360","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/italian-frosted-glass-iron-hanging-light-diffuser-1960s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
