Description:

I found this brass chandelier on the side of the road. It had an on/off switch on the base that had decomposed from age. I took it apart, cleaning the brass thoroughly, and gutted the old switch housing from the inside. I then disconnected the wiring from the switch to hook all the lamps to one positive and one negative cord that would lead to the ceiling electric hookup. I sanded the metal w/ 400 grit paper and spray painted it black. I purchased a black chain to hang it with and hooked it up to the ceiling source and added a dimmer to control it.
