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.
