Graben Chandeliers


A friend of mine was in Vienna for the New Year. She sent photos of her visit. One of those photos was of this chandelier hanging over Graben in Vienna. The light filled chandeliers are hung over the street as holiday decorations and as a homage to the wonderful chandeliers of the area. I love it. Maybe they should be encouraged to leave them up year round. Wonderful!



I want one.

Versailles, Chandeliers and Art

I love this photo of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. The chandeliers are breathtaking. I would like to be left in this room by myself so I could take it all in. It absolutely amazes me
I recently came across this photo of the hall which features an art installation by the Japanese artist Murakamo. What a great setting to show this colorful art. The Hall of Mirrors with all its elegance and reflection is an amazing background for Murakamo's art. What is interesting to me is how something not created for the space can look so wonderful and at home in it.

Chanel's Chandelier




If Coco Chanel had designed a chandelier I think it would have looked like this. The chandelier is 60" high. Miles and miles of pearls.
