I was in this sort of junk shop and there was this big box filled with glass with a low price on it

surprisingly the complete lamp seemed to be in the box with nary a crack or chip in any piece

once I rewired / assembled and hung it up, looks incredible IMO

if all the pieces of glass were Murano vases, the total price would have been $$$$

there is no faking the ancient wiring and the couple generations of dust in the fittings  ;D

Hard to say Jon from the photo's. The only thing I can say is that it is well made and not some copy...
Clean and Crisp a Murano twist.
Archimede tops my list.
