I love this! Thank you so much for taking the time to research this so fully. As you know, I currently live in a Victorian gothic home in England and indeed it was very difficult choosing the lighting. In the end I opted for a traditional antique chandelier in the drawing room. But, everywhere else I chose modern rustic chandeliers to link the period with my own style. Everything had to be huge though! 3.2m high ceilings demand mammoth lighting! Happy new year to you.
Thank you appreciating all the work that went into the post. That meant a lot to me. Your house looks beautiful and I really enjoy your posts as they highlight the unique historical aspects of the era. Your approach to lighting is judicious as to be happy the interior should reflect you but nodding to history is also important. The ceiling is high! I hope you posted some pictures! Happy New Year to you and wishing you much success in 2024!
I really liked all the info you provided about the history of lighting in that era, especially since I have always liked those ornate Victorian style lights and chandeliers. It was all so beautiful.
Thank you for restacking!
