I just love these little tent & bag chandeliers - Named so because the "structure" of the light is limited to a ring at the top & a larger ring below connected by a rod that is unseen when dressed in crystal, this means the strands of crystal that run from the top hoop to the lower hoop hang like the roof of a tent & the strands of crystal that hang from the bottom hoop are all joined to a center plate at the bottom which means that they hang like a bag. Neither lot of crystal with any support apart from the hoops and their connecting wires.
Small details such as the swags on the hoops are all that's needed to provide its style cues.
No dealer will use the words tent or bag style, the word empire is used universally at all times now.
Gorgeous chandelier
