Affordable Chic

the most amazing store in Raleigh

Lights, lamps, and chandeliers

|

The beautiful gilded lily lamp we had in the store for a few weeks went to a new home and we miss it. However, we still have plenty of table lamps, ceiling light fixtures, and chandeliers to shed a little light on your reading material, dinner table, and bedroom.

There’s a charming tiny little table lamp, entirely beaded, in reds and pinks with flowers. (Click on any of the images in the gallery to see a bigger picture.)

If beaded flowers and lampshades aren’t what you want, perhaps a trio of laughing cherubs and a pink silk shade would work?

Finally, if it’s whole-room illumination that you need, have you seen the two newest ceiling lamps in the shop?

Next time you’re at Affordable Chic, make sure to walk once around the shop, looking up. We have a LOT of hanging lamps in the store, with new ones coming in all the time. Hope to see you soon!

Tulip Flower Lamp

|

This is one of the most striking lamps we’ve seen in the shop in a long time!

Mid-century vintage Holliwood Regency gold leaf Itailian Tole table lamp with five lights. 36″ tall; 22″ wide. The lamp is gilt gold leaf; with brass-plated tulip blossom flower lights.

Some of the original gilding is still bright; other parts are patinated.

The lamp has five flowers; one is mostly hidden on the far side of the lamp. The lamp uses small-socket chandelier bulbs; it has an on-off switch on the cord.

Tiny Chandeliers

|

We usually think of “chandelier” as something hanging over a dining room table that seats 32, perhaps at Downton Abbey. But chandeliers are made for tiny spaces, too, and we have several in the store right now that fill a niche, rather than a nave.
The first is white metal, five light modern fixture, with clear crystals and drops.

The second is a similar size, with four lights (two bulbs unscrewed to reduce the heat in the store), and milk and turquoise drops, beads, flowers, birds, and all sorts of fanciness. Wouldn’t it be nice to curl up with a good book in your boudoir under the gentle light of this piece of pretty?

Pair of Wooden Candle Sconces

Isn’t this lovely? It’s half of a pair; twice as nice. Ribbons and fleurs-de-lys on a lyre; brass candle holders for a pair of tapers.

Pearl Chandelier

|

Sometimes, crystal is simply not the right answer.  If you’ve been looking for a unique chandelier for a boudoir or parlor, look no more.  This pearl-draped, five-light chandelier could be exactly what you need.

Imagine how fabulous this will look in a pastel room, surrounded by pale yellow walls!  Pearls go with everything, of course, so don’t let our color thinking get in your way.

Frankly, we can see it in a MacKenzie-Childs esthetic, too–they don’t always use pure white in their checkerboard designs, and pearl would look better in that style than anything more stark.

Come in and see this chandelier for yourself.  We looked on Google Images and could find nothing at all exactly like it.  There were a few smaller, one-bulb ceiling fixtures with pearls, but nothing that could light up a whole room, and nothing as elegant as this.  Be forewarned–you could fall in love under this light!

Pink Crystal Drop Chandelier

|

This is a modern, UL-approved chandelier that has been augmented with additional crystals, long and short pink drops, milk glass drops, and birds and flowers. It’s a delight to see. Imagine it in a little girl’s room; in a pink powder room, or a tiny foyer!

Italian Flower Candle Sconces

|

These enameled candle sconces come from Italy. We think they’re the perfect accent for a sun room or dining nook. They’d look fabulous flanking a mirror above a console table in a front hallway, too, or how about a pretty powder room?

Each sconce holds two standard candles.  $125, the pair.
