This fabulous grand dame looks prim and proper from a distance - lots of shiny crystals gleaming. But look closer and you will see little crystal flowers with pink petals and green centers. Also clear crystal flowers blend in to surprise you when you catch sight of them. I loved this chandelier on first sight, purchased 15 years ago from a Madison Avenue french antique shop on Manhattan's Upper East Side. I had to shorten it during my last move to a lower ceilings house. It is now 42" tall, but can be made taller and an additional tier of crystals can be added (I have the parts). Its diameter is 33" and it has 14 lights visible and three hidden (see photos)
