Worked out why we called this Charlotte? (Think arachnid...minus two limbs). So this chandelier has more joints than a Cheech and Chong movie and, as such is hugely adaptable. Choose any shades; fabric, paper, glass, even ceramic, and, play with the angle of the legs, and.....in the words of the great Lord Simon Cowell, make it your own. A word of warning...balance is an issue, and you will need to apply your knowledge of pivots and seesaws to level it up. A great piece...a show-stopper indeed. (Shades sold separately).
