French Grey Chandelier

 This small chandelier was found antiquing this summer 
and has been in my online shop. It didn't sell so I decided to give it a makeover. 
It was ornate gold in finish and quite lovely,
 but I am thinking the grey finish with champagne accents might be more appealing.
Grey is THE neutral color of the decade.
 This chandy has a lot of detail with rosette swags and fluted lines. 
The three strands of old crystals add nice sparkle~ 
It is an elegant little chandy, and came out of an estate in Old Naples, Florida.
 On the petite side, so it would be perfect in a powder room or small guest room.
 From bold gold....
To elegant grey~you can find it for sale by clicking here.

    It is beautiful! I used to live in Naples, and I can imagine one of the old estates it came out of.

    Oh, I love what you did with this chandelier. I have a gold chandelier in my dining room that I don't like ... mostly because of the color. Rather than buy a new one, I think I'll try painting it gray like yours. Thanks for the inspriation. I'm now a follower.

    Hi Amy I just love your Christmas header and the french grey chandelier is breathtaking, it would look great in my entry way matching my inherited door.

    Thank you for your visit and beautiful comments.

    That grey is the same color as our kitchen peninsula. I think you made the right move.
