Consignment Chandelier

I love crystal chandeliers.  I also love a good deal on crystal chandeliers.  I’ve bought several for myself and have given several to my family over the years.  They appreciate bling too!  The chandelier in my dining room is my favorite find ever!

I had a pretty brass and crystal chandelier in my dining room and I loved it.  But when I stumbled upon this beauty at a consignment store, I knew I had to have it.  It was crumbled on the floor with most of its crystals missing.  The metal pieces were bent out of shape but it was a beauty.  The price was $100!!!  I couldn’t believe the price.  Sold.  I brought it home and ordered new crystals on Ebay.  There are 12 glass spires that screw in and surprisingly they were all in tact.   I hired an electrician to come install it.  Thankfully it didn’t need rewiring.  I have it on a dimmer. (I love lights on a dimmer)  When we sell this house I’m afraid it will be one of those “not consigned”  items.
