At
the Stone House we are aware that the slightest variations in a fixture
can make a difference when finding the perfect piece for a particular
space. Perhaps no characteristic makes as great a difference as
size. With this in mind we offer our Witches Hat Chandelier in two
sizes.
This Witches
Hat Chandelier features a larger diameter for rooms approximately 14 X 14
feet square or larger. If your room is not of these dimensions but
you have an exceptionally large
table you may also wish to use the Large Witches Hat Chandelier.
While your personal taste is what should define your purchase, the
traditional rule of thumb for the size of a chandelier is that it should
only be as wide as the table, so as not to interfere with traffic.
If chairs are kept around the table the chandelier may be larger.
We'd
like you to take notice of a few special features of the chandelier.
The cone is hand-pierced, hand-seamed, and the bottom edge is then
"turned" up. As shown in the detail photo on this page, a
solid forming wire is inserted
and
then "set" into the bottom edge of the cone. This makes
the cone extremely sturdy.
We use
no modern fasteners in the construction. The finial and top loop are
drawn together and soldered directly to the cone. The candleholders are
soldered directly to the drip pans; those are then soldered directly
to the supporting arms. The supporting arms also have a
forming wire turned into the outer edges, and a decorative bead
running through the center.
The
Stone House takes special pride in using these historically accurate
techniques to give both sizes of the Witches Hat Chandelier
increased structural strength and beauty.
