An elaborate gold gilt and opalescent glass chandelier suspended from the two-story ceiling of Chapelle Royale at Versailles, France. Beneath the cherubs, gold rays representing the "Sun King" and the royal Coat-of-Arms are depicted. The baroque chapel was Louis XIV's last addition to Versailles. It was designed by architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart.

My little girl (a devotee of all things "fancy" right now) just about swooned when she passed by and saw this photo. Beautifully done!
Love,
