Northern Fleet Chandelier
This is not a chandelier that you can buy at Amazon but still as we like chandeliers, it is always nice to admire something different. We also like chandeliers made of recycled materials and there is a lot of creativity and innovation in this field. This chandelier called Northern Fleet can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and was made in 1988 by Deborah Thomas with recycled broken glass. When it was sold the first time it only had a single light bulb! when it was resold in 2010 it was then fit with halogen lights. She has made recycled glass chandeliers for theatres and even for homes. Another example of how something beautiful and classy can be made out of recycled material.
