Palwa Lighting is well known for the quality of its crystals and the originality of its design. This playful design is a large sculptural palm tree more than one meter high, made of luxurious materials: crystal and brass. This luminaire could be used in a wide range of interiors such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modernism, Hollywood Regency, 70's Glamour, Traditional or Contemporary. It consists of two parts, the sculptural palm on an oval brass base. The large main frame of the palm tree sculpture has a long trunk with a crown of 9 leaves. Each leaf is decorated with more than 100 faceted and hand polished clear crystals. In total, there are nearly 1000 crystals. The structure of the leaf is a brass grid on the back. Each crystal is held inside the grid by a brass wire tied at each junction of the grid. The outline of the leaf is a textured brass trim. The complete crown of leaves is removable and bolted to the back of the trunk in three places. The wall-mounted base is a polished brass oval plate. It has 7 lamp sockets with polished brass covers. There are 2 holes through which this plate is screwed to the wall. On the back of the palm tree sculpture is an oval tubular frame which is connected to the wall plate. Once the wall plaque is screwed to the wall, the oval tubular frame hooks onto it, held in place by two vertical brass dowels on top of the plaque. This wall light carries 7 small standard screw bulbs (E14) with a maximum wattage of 40 watts each. It is currently equipped and photographed with 25-watt Pygmy Clear bulbs.
