Liberty starts with a core of matte-black metal, banded round its middle with a flashing contrast from the piece`s finish of choice—brass or nickel. Retro coil bulbs in ballooning clear glass create the primary light source, in larger models, tubular exposed-filament bulbs alternate. Cut-crystal discs and icy handcrafted glass adorn protruding rods, refracting the dazzling light in a thousand directions.
