GLASS CHANDELIERS
It must be many years since the last of the glass chandeliers were banished, but there are still people living who remember how these chandeliers were unhooked piece by piece, carefully washed, dabbed with blue, and subsequently polished and replaced. Now, after a lapse of years, the glass chandelier is coming back again, in somewhat different form, perhaps, and for use with electric light instead of gas. The modern glass chandelier is undoubtedly a beautiful thing, but it belongs to the drawing-room period and seems quite out of place in the modern lounge in company with the gramophone and wireless. Glass chandeliers seem to belong to an age of ease and elegance, and can hardly expect to find a place in a small modern house. They have great decorative value, however, and in a large room would look lovely. But they must have a suitable setting, otherwise their beauty is wasted and the effect is simply to dominate the room with prismatic glass.
