A central pivot mechanism allows five slender, slightly arched metal arms—finished in brushed, partially tarnished silver—to fan out dynamically. Each arm is topped with a rounded, glossy plastic cap in a pale cream color, showing subtle surface cracks and signs of use. The construction is robust, with exposed screws and mechanical joints that underscore the functional, industrial aesthetic typical of the mid-century period.
