- Physical Description
- Chandelier consists of a bronze post with eight arms (inset with colored glass) from which hangs two rings of yellow translucent glass half-dome glass surrounding a single, large yellow glass half-dome globe in the center.
- Subject Matter
- Designed for the library of the Havemeyer house, this chandelier shares design motifs that were found in other furnishings in the room. The anirons (now in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts), chairs, and other objects had the same beading motif seen in the post of the chandelier. The decoration of the Havemeyer house comes shortly before Tiffany's chapel designed for the World Columbian Exposition and this chandelier, like elements of the chapel, reflect Tiffany's appreciation of Byzantine design.
