I'm thinking....
PAINT IT WHITE!!!
Happy Mom's Day!
Warmly,
Deb :)
It's pretty as is, but ...
I say go for paint it!
Oh I love that chandelier!!
paint! happy mothers day!
It is beautiful!! Just like it is - the old finish - certainly looks antique. If you paint it white, it might as well be some garish new boring one. That's the only reason I think something should be painted white - when it is ugly! Not when it is already full of character and beauty. I think it is classy...

I can't wait to see what everybody says because I have two just like it and I cannot decide either. I've had them for over two years and yet they sit.

I do think it looks beautiful the way it is, but I'm going to vote paint it! I love the way white looks with crystals!!!

I usually am on the side of paint it (white) but this one looks wonderful as is! Get another one and paint it white!!
ooooo, paint it!
I would leave it as it is...or use a rub of patina.
Or a Verdigris kit. Love it!
HAHA! Doesn't look like we're going to be much help to you! Like most are saying, it looks great the way it is. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a change, white would look excellent against the crystals, especially if it's painted a vintage white, maybe even rubbed off a bit?
It has a wonderful patina already, if it was a garish bright brassy color, I'd say paint. As it is I wouldn't touch it....wish I had one!!!!
I love it just as it is!
Good luck making a choice...
Warm wishes

It's so pretty already. I'd leave it as is. Happy Mother's Day!
I have to admit, I'm kinda loving it as is. There are so many wonderful etched details, I would be afraid they would get lost in a coat of paint..... What ever you decide I am sure will be lovely.

I sat and debated mine also, then took the plunge and went white. I love it now
NO PAINT!!! it really is stunning just the way it is...the coloring is lovely...
It is a fabulous finish - as much as I love to paint - I think I'd leave it as is! Let us know what you decide! :)
It's gorgeous as it is but I'd paint it. There is something so pretty about white chandeliers... a fresh crisp coat of paint... the perfect shabby touch.
You have a beautiful blog.
Cheers!
Holly
i said yes! white is allways nice and you can put some colour (like rosa...) too. i would do it. best wishes ;0)
Dear Andrea -
Since you have a lot of 'dark notes' in your home - the floor, the painting, etc. - I'd leave it dark.
Also, I'm interested in linking up to your party, but I need the deadline in the sidebar for my readers. Please email me at

Great blog!

i just bit the bullet and painted all 4 of my previously "raw metal" chandeliers and just LOVE them! they are a creamy, dreamy white and the prisms just reflect so beautifully now! PAINT IT! you won't be sorry!
It's going to look good no matter what because it has CRYSTALS!
Hi Andrea,
I think it is really pretty as it is. I love things painted white, but I think I would leave it as it is.

Hi Sweetie
I have had quite a few of those in the shop and I painted everyone of them white with a distressed finish and they look great!
Hope you had a great day yesterday and wishing you a wonderful week.
Blessings

Paint it ,You can re paint it brown. You will love it.Come visit Laura
It is beyond beautiful just as it is x
An exquisite chandelier - don't spoil it please.
Thank you for sharing.
Your blog is so wonderfully shabby. I have become a follower. Check out my something special blog and see my Wonderfully shabby post. I was going to paint this nightstand, but got to looking at it and just decided to clean it up and leave it alone. Sometimes doing this is just the ticket!
everything always looks better painted white!
I usually paint just about everything, but am going through a similar dilema right now.
Sometimes, the contrast of the darker metal looks good with all of the white, doesn't it?
it is beautiful as-is but i say paint it! white will be perfect. might even be fun to add a little rub 'n buff afterward to the curves. ooh la la!

Hi Andrea,
I just found your blog and I absolutely love it! Your style is right up my alley. I love your chandelier, I have one quite similar and mine is white. As much as I love white, leave it the way it is. It's gorgeous with its original patina.
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
NOOOOOO.....don't paint it!!! I love these old chandeliers....and have a few myself...on second thought..it would look beautiful painted white as I am a vintage chippy white girl...LOL...love your blog....k
