Chandelier of the Past

| 17 September 2011 | 2 Comments

This may not be the first chandelier ever made but it certainly belongs to the past centuries home light fixtures. It was fascinating to see this old chandelier at Torpa Stenhus during our teachers’ trip last year. It seemed to me that it had real candles as lights before but they were replaced by electrical ones later, though it must be a bit of work lighting and extinguishing them.

The glowing lights revealed the paintings on the ceiling that I didn’t quite understand what they were all about. The chandelier or whatever it was called before, however, served its purpose, which was to give light and warmth inside.

    I love old antique things that have been updated. My mother has helped me do this with a couple of old oil lamps. IT is surprising easier than you would think.
