Silvered bronze chandelier from the Wiener Werkstatte. The finial that touches the ceiling is a multi-petaled leaf. A long thin silverplated pole leads down to the lightbulb section. The pole has a spiral vine with leaves that meander down the pole. All of the six globe-shaped bulbs are set into a many-leafed receptacle where the bulbs are screwed in. The leaves below the bulbs are slanted upward and look as though they were cut with a tin shears. Below the leaves, the stem loops and there are six-budded flowers, which haven’t opened yet. Below that are more leaves. There are spirals and loops above some of the bulbs.

Small, square Wiener Werkstatte pin of mother-of-pearl, trimmed with ropelike twisted gold wire. Attached to the mother-of-pearl is a highly stylized gold sculpture of a tree, from which grapes, leaves, and flowers bloom. Two of the leaves are disproportionately large while the trunk is disproportionately short. The tree sits in what appears to be an inverted crown that is on a slant.
