our word for today: 'girandole'

 

 

I saw a great pair of tall antique candlesticks in an antique shop that are kinda like this one.

I've since learned that these are called 'girandole' candlesticks: French or Italian ornamental, branched candle holders.

 

I've never had just the right thing for my mantel and I thought a pair of these would look terrific flanking a super-sized piece of abstract art - in black and white, of course.

 

So, maybe I'll save my pennies and get a pair. Lemme know if you see any bargains out there.
