Lighting
A Glorious Shrieking Deco
My online vintage lighting store.
Years ago, I purchased an Art Deco chandelier in an antique store. It was dismantled and I was unsure if all the parts were in situ. It was also amazingly dirty. Scary dirty. And I thought: do I have the energy to clean this? In addition, the original polychrome finish had largely failed. There wasn’t much left.
But…but…even with all these issues, I could not overlook the obvious potential wonder of the chandelier. Also, the chandelier spoke to me. Well, it shrieked, actually: SAVE ME! SAVE ME!
Then, last week, after so much time had passed, and the chandelier had gathered more dust and dirt, but never stopped shrieking, I decided to brave the challenge.
Wanna see the results?
Prepare to gasp.
And scroll down…
Oh, and the chandelier is now purring.

Ross, you never cease to amaze me on your ability to accomplish things. I work around the clock on restoring things but I feel you have magical powers. I also frequently stop for wine…so maybe that’s my downfall.
Looks great. I would love to see the before picture if you have one.
Nicely done! I have a soft spot for deco.
wow, gorgeous
