Showing off my new lights

These are lights we ordered whilst on holidays a year ago, had freighted over, and have finally been installed in our new house approaching completion. It is always a worry when you buy on a whim for a house that wasn't even out of the ground at the time. I am so pleased with them I had to show them off.

Wow. Very nice...I especially like the first one.

that first one is beautiful, show us a pic with it on!!

the 2nd one...what can you say...umm, what is it made of? what are the brown things made of?
quite unusual ay. I would have to see it in real life I recon, it looks huge...is it? bet it was heavy

I too have bought some lights and in my head, they look GREAT! the plans are still in council so it will be a while
before they are up

where did you buy yours? overseas?

They were both bought from the same shop on the island of Murano off Venice. The second one is made of handblown glass. The brown "turds"are also glass and have flecks of gold leaf through them. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but we LOVE it. And yes they are both very heavy. I think about 40kgs. The poor electrician had to put them together in situ. It took all day on a ladder.

I can't show you them on yet. We still have to get the bulbs!

I really like your description of the brown 'turds'!

venice
