"This lamp is a remarkable recreation of a stage prop for the late, great Robert Crumplebottom. The original chandelier became famous when, during his annual winter charity performance, the lamp dropped a full two stories, landing upon the esteemed puppeteer and ending his short, but inspiring life. This replica is a testament to both his brilliance and his unfortunate end."
