Who says crystal has to be formal? Here we see a crystal chandelier gracing the dining room of a log cabin. The chair legs may look like rough branches and the walls may have splinters, but the chandelier works. Renaissance by Schonbek has an airy open-case construction that dates back to the seventeenth century. The ornate frame is darkened and desiccated, as if by age. Handcut crystal reflects the golden tones of the room. Photo Brian Confer.
