Grey Gardens Style

Antique Crystal Wedding Cake Chandelier

Elegant European Crystal Chandelier - Grey Gardens Style – Decorating With Light

I have always been passionate about chandeliers. Walking into a room with antique crystal chandeliers is always so warm and adds so much to the decor.  Light truly influences the mood of the home and I have purchased a few chandeliers and they have transformed my home.

Rachel Ashwell inspired me to have more than one in my home. I enjoy her books and met her on two occasions. I adore her style and although Grey Gardens chic is a bit different, I enjoy some of the same fabrics,ironstone, paintings,and lighting fixtures as Rachel does.

There are many different styles of crystal chandeliers- each with their own charm.  Some have more lights, others are more subtle, but they all have the potential to enhance the decorated room or make it more appealing.

This is the first time I am offering a chandelier plus sconces on my website. I fell in love with these  pieces and thought you might share my opinion. This chandelier is available for purchase on the Grey Gardens Collections website here.

Above is a photo of a magnificent late 19th to early 20th century multi-tiered wedding cake crystal chandelier, the top crowned with a cascading crystals attached to a central frame, which supports 5 arms that end in alternating lights and crystal prisms.

Another lighting accessory in the same category are wall sconces.

The photo you see below is actually a pair of crystal sconces that match the style of the wedding chandelier.  They too are lovely and will accent any room.
