Daniela 4-Light Chandelier

Beads, drops, globes and glass arms. Restraint was evidently discussed and voted down.

Here is the Daniela 4-Light Chandelier by Ralph Lauren, in crystal. The form descends from the candle-lit fixtures of grand houses, where faceted surfaces did the work of extra flames at evening parties. A stack of three cut globes forms the spine, ringed by fine beaded swags. Four slender arms sweep up from a nickel-toned collar to candle-shaped lights, each set in its own crystal cup and dish. Long pendants fringe the lower tier. Thirty and a half inches high and 21 in diameter.

Dinner guests will look up. Conversation may improve.
