I have discovered a lighting shop owned by a charming man from Trieste who travels to Italy twice a year to source dazzling chandeliers, stylish vintage sconces and beautiful lamps with large parchment shades. I’ve been looking for a light to hang above our dining room table, and of course, my eye darted to the very grandest, most expensive ones in the room. Indeed, if money were no object, I may have chosen an antique showstopper dripping in smokey gray crystals. Just a little conversation sparker.
