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 opposite on the book cover to look inside*
