Sweet New / Old Crystal Chandy

 
 A Dream Has Come True!
Isn't she a Beauty?

 
 I have been wanting an old crystal chandy for so many years.
A few months ago I want to an auction and there she was. . .calling my name.
"Ahrisha. . .Do you see me hanging here in the corner?"
"Take me Home."  She whispered.
 
That's a reflection of the Christmas tree in the mirror.  Yes, it's still up and I am lovin' it.

There is a tiny little metal tag wired to the top labeled "SPAIN".
Lots of bronze and crystals.  Just like I requested.
I am considering replacing the candles with new creamy colored ones with the drippy wax running down the sides.  What would you do,  Keep it original or replace them?
 
I hung her in a corner of the livingroom by the sofa for reading light.  I love to curl up here with a book.
 
I am sharing at these wonderful blog friends.
Stop by for a visit.

I'd leave the Spain tag intact. Love the amount of reflection in the room and the mirror!!!

Oh my! I have serious chandy envy! This one is very pretty, and just the right size! I also love your wallpaper! I do love the gold banded candles that are on it, but the drippy ones would look nice, too. Mmmmm decisions, decisions.... You'll have to let us know! xx

I absolutely LOVE crystal chandeliers! I have been hunting them down and taking them home for quite some time now. I have so many now, that I resell them. I just buy them up, rewire/update them and resell, sometimes I replace one of my own. Congratulations on your find, She is GORGEOUS!!! Good Luck in your next treasure! ~Tammy
