Having admired a chandelier hanging from a tree on a recent garden tour, I didn’t hesitate to snatch up this piece. Apart from a fairly decent layer of grime it was in good shape and didn’t need a lot of work.
I started by discarding the shades, bulbs and shafts that were sheathing the bulb holders.
These bulb holders were supposed to unscrew nicely but the little buggers wouldn’t budge.
Sometimes you just need more WD40 and the help of a friend even more stubborn than yourself.
I have to admit pulling out all the wiring “guts” was oddly satisfying.
Removing the grime and adding candles was the finishing touch
