About the Item

A most unusual 1950’s French atomic style hanging fixture made of maple wood (or pine?), 6 brass arms and cups with onion shaped pressed glass globes. The design is clearly inspired by the shape of molecular models and atomic iconography. The curved arms are suggestive of kinetic motion of neutrons and electrons. Sockets hold B22 bayonet bulbs which are now available for US voltage so it is not necessary to change the sockets to U.S. candelabra which could preclude the use of these particular glass shades.
