Chandeliers
Mitchell Beazley 2001 and abroad
(Bulfinch USA)
The Chandelier is the
apogee, literally, of today's decorating. It's a statement of style and
glamour, a focus when you walk into a room, so much more than simply a
useful lighting device. 'Chandeliers' is a comprehensive and inspiring
guide to the history and use of the form (from medieval times to the
present day) which delights in the romance of the chandelier at the same
time as being a practical handbook. Click
