Tammy on Sep 09, 2016I would leave it natural and shine it up. It would make an incredible side table or plant stand, cut a round piece of wood, glass, or anything you might have already. It is a very cool piece! I love it 😄Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Sep 09, 2016I agree with the solar light decoration for outside. I would spray paint it a different color for a very dramatic look.Helpful Reply

Amy on Sep 09, 2016Take the fitting out, turn it upside down, put a decorative globe in it and either use it inside as decor or outside in the garden... Paint it a flat black to look like wrought iron...Helpful Reply

Vallory on Sep 09, 2016Using the large round end for the base. Tale the fitting out so you have a flat surface and glue a plate and then a shallow antique bowl on top of the plate and use it in your garden or on your patio for a butterflies and birds to drink from.Helpful Reply

Terri on Sep 10, 2016Some spray paint and then use a very very fine sand paper to weather it. Depends on what look you want to achieve. This method will give it a weathered look. I did several pieces in our home with this technique they came out great.Helpful Reply

LibraryKAT on Sep 10, 2016It looks like it was meant to have a glass fitting on the base to hide those light bulbs. There are some really nice new spray paints that give an oiled bronze or other finish that could be used on the metal portions, maybe with something to highlight (subtly) the details. I think it would be really nice when done. If you don't have the glass portion, perhaps Restoration Hardware would have something; or it's a good excuse for antiquing/garage saling.Helpful Reply

Diane on Sep 10, 2016I would spray paint white (it would then match bulb holders) and wire a couple birds to it, as it kinda reminds me of a bird cage...I think that would be a cute whimsical look :)Helpful Reply

Susan Bechamp on Sep 10, 2016Remove all wiring. Paint to desired taste. Hang from a ceiling hook and chain. Find or make a planter to fit the circular opening. Plant a climbing vine type plant. (Whatever grows well where you live). Or turn it into a fancy small pot rack / utensil rack with a few S-hooks.Helpful Reply

7218805 on Sep 11, 2016If you don't require it for actual electrical lighting, cut the rod off at the knobby thing that holds the electrical light sockets, spray paint it any colour that matched your decor, and discretely hot-glue small glass votive holders along the circular part, and voila! A lovely, romantic candle-holder! :)Helpful Reply

Sauve on Sep 11, 2016Wow! Are you going to show a pic of what you end up with? I've attached a pic of what I would like to do for an inconvenient corner of our home. Those are not crystals but fine chain links.... I would take all the wiring out, clean it and then, depending on how much money it cost, decide whether to have someone plate it with nickel or do it myself.... Then I would install some interior LED lights using some light weight wires to create a degrading spiral. Last I would solder on some very fine chain links. Sorry, I am just like that.Helpful Reply

Linette Templeman on Sep 11, 2016I would paint it and come up with a lighting idea like something that's see through glass a pretty clear bowl you can drill a hole in for making a nice accent to a pretty bulb like a Edison bulbs.Helpful Reply

Donna Dame on Sep 14, 2016Paint for sure and add a glass bowl fixture to cover the light....this is probably what was originally there. If you want to go really crazy, instead of a bowl fixture, use rings and hand real crystals from them for a true chandelier look. Of course, you will have to keep in mind where your want to hang it since it will be much longer if you do it this way.Helpful Reply

Carol on Sep 16, 2016take your chandalIr to a lighting store abd try different shades or globes till you find the obe you like best or take your chandalIr apart, paint the parts you want to keep and reassemble using only the parts you like. Buy a shade or globe to match your color scheme or your presences and call it done.Helpful Reply

Sage on Sep 23, 2016use a foam brush to outline it in verdigris green. Then wax it until it glows and find a large glass fixture like the one in the attached photo - usually they show up at thrift stores or buy a cheap glass one online and etch it with the pattern of your choice. You can go geometric or softly echo the fern pattern in the body of the fixture - plan it so that the light hits the contrast and makes patterns that are pleasing in the room you are hanging it in. Choose daylight spectrum bulbs in a lower wattage over LED - the type of bulb and how the light hits your walls and ceiling will make or break the chandelier.Helpful Reply
