It's a perfect piece to adorn.
It is usually center stage on the long set of built ins in our hallway.
I love to accessorize this piece and presently, it sitting on a handmade table covering made by my grandmother.
A simple cotton homespun fabric adorned with embroidery and crochet.
Cotton embroidered flowers with french knot centers.
Beautiful crochet entredeux.
Elegant crochet edgings.

What an amazing piece! I know you treasure it-enjoy!
Marlis, this is beautiful, all of it. I'm so glad you posted this, and I'm so happy you linked up to Vignette Fridays! I hope to see you again and again! :)
What a very unique candle holder- the little treasure trove underneath it is holding such pretty "smalls."
Too funny how you never put your tiny holiday bird away.... He looks quite at home perched up there. And what a treasure to have that tablecloth made by your grandmother. :-) Sue
This is incredible! What a unique piece! I love it, and you have displayed it so beautifully. Your grandmother's linen is beautiful also!!!
I can see so many great tablescapes using this candelabra. Absolutely great piece. I also see that you're a stitcher. I used to paint custom needlepoint canvases at a great needlepoint store here. I think that we must be birds of a feather. Thanks for stopping by my post. Come for a visit anytime. Cherry Kay
It's gorgeous! It looks like a Christmas tree-I love it!
Best wishes,

It's all beautiful, but that table cover is a-mazing - and the fact that your grandmother made it makes it all the more special. Love it.
Happy weekend!

What an unusual piece, I love the candles wrapped in music sheets, I really like your hall way cupboards.
What a gorgeous piece. A real conversation one at that. Great way to display it center stage. Have a great weekend. Debbie
Hi Marlis,
This is a beautiful piece, and I love the way you've accessorized it. Your grandmother's handmade table covering is truly special. It brought a tear to my eye, reminding me of needlework my mother made years ago (stashed away in the old cedar chest). It's wonderful that you're using this, as well as the beautiful pillow cases you shared in a recent post. I loved your Japanese tablescape --you're so very talented!
Hope your weekend goes well.
