what a gorgeous retro find!

this is straight out of a hippie beachcomber's house on cape cod, ma. can't you just see it hung above all his low slung furniture and turntable...rocking gently with the ocean breeze?

i bet, with a little DIY you could even rig this up as a chandelier

this sweet piece combines the best of bohemian and oceanside decor. it's pretty large, so it'll make a great statement in your space. hang a plant in it, or not. either way, it's quite an eye catcher.

perfect vintage condition
