Object
Solon's Wheel Chandelier
A circular chandelier designed with rotating metal arms that hold dripping wax candles, its iron frame blackened by decades of smoke. The wheel turns slowly in the parlour's drafts, casting flickering shadows that twist across the walls like living things. During the storm, its lowered position forces guests to duck, making it a physical obstacle in the confined space while Solon's guests grow increasingly vulnerable beneath its slow revolving weight.

Purpose
Provides ambient lighting in the parlour through multiple candles. Its mechanical design appears designed for mobiles but serves as functional ceiling light in this space.
Significance
Transforms from decorative fixture to instrument of psychological tension, as its rotating movement accentuates the parlour's shift from refined setting to hunting ground. The chandelier's positioning and movement create danger by limiting headroom and visual clarity during Solon's betrayal.
