I got a chandelier! For this picture, my dad just rigged it up to see if it worked: it needs a good cleaning, perhaps rewiring, and new bulbs. And a home, of course (once I move again I will figure this out). I should have taken a picture from slightly below, so you would see the decoration on the candle arms and cups, the tops of them were left unfinished because they wouldn't have been seen from below. Its mostly brass, with molded decoration, and has all its glass drops. It really is pretty, more than you can tell in this picture, and one day I will post it in all its glory. My dad got a great price on it though, and we've all been keeping our eyes out for so long, it just had to be bought.

Hello, Chandelier.

It's lovely! I just bought a similar chandelier at a garage sale! Does this one have "made in Spain" stamped under the ceiling plate? How did you clean the crystals?
Cool! I will have to check it for marks again when I get home (it's been a while since I've looked at it). I just clean them with a damp rag and water... nothing fancy. Although I doubt you can harm them if you add a little windex in there. You;ve inspired me to be better about blogging again with this comment. Thanks!
