Our artisans have taken 24% lead crystal and have cut clear vertical lines into the black background creating a one of a kind sparkle when the etchings catch the light in our Blackline series. The combination of the black crystal and clear vertical lines in this lamp are designed to fit in any room in your home. A pleated fabric shade, captures the light when the lamp is illuminated and directs it downward, over the crystal and finely cast base, which is finished in polished chrome to cast sparkles of light about any room in which it is displayed. No matter how you use it, Blackline will be a cherished family heirloom for generations to come. 24% lead solid crystal.
