I spent the morning rewiring an interesting 1920's Mediterranean style 5 arm chandelier. All of the wires going to each socket were crap. They claimed that it was working when they took it down, but if that was the case, they are damn lucky that the entire house didn't burn to the ground. It was much more a fire starter than a chandelier.
I have the best setting to work on this type of project. As long as it isn't raining.
The chandelier has a very nice, shabby touch of rust to it. Doesn't this wiring look wonderful? Just what I would want in my house.
Well it works and no flames are leaping from the new connections.
I'm going to bring it to Gypsy Lea's for the July sale. Now I have a crystal chandelier to tackle.

I like sparks
It's so plain now
You could have hooked up an old neon transformer and had a multiple Jacob's ladder
I was not all that hot for your light. But, when those globes were added, I did see sparks flying! Awesome fixture! ~Mindy
