Updated Brass Chandelier

I finally found a brasstone chandelier at a thrift shop that was exactly what I was looking for. It only took me 4 years.
This is a medium sized chandelier with candlesticks. Perfect for turning into an antique fixture for our "country-ish" dining room.
After cleaning up the fixture, I applied a coat of flat black paint for a wrought iron look.
I printed out two sheets of an antique letter. Then I cut the letter up to fit around the plastic tube "candles". Then used a glue stick on the paper to apply them to the tubes.
Then, replaced the plastic tube candles and inserted clear flame bulbs. Ready for hardwire. It was worth the wait.
Enjoyed the project?
