There are some chandeliers that you just look at and believe that you may be in a different era. A seine crackle chandelier is one of them. The seine crackle is a finish that is used to complete the chandelier making it look rather antique and almost distressed, with a special elegance only found in this type of finish. It brings a very old world charm to any room without seeming too “old”.
The seine crackle is more of a two tone look where the base color shows through the crackle of the top coat. It can be a soft crackle or a bold crackle depending on the manufacturer. It is often referred to a peeling paint look, although it is very sturdy to the touch. The differences in the tones of the color can be distinct and beautiful. It is almost hard to tell you what color this is. It is such a beautiful combination of brown, rust, brass, with just a hint of yellow and gold highlights. It just reeks of old warm charm.
The seine crackle chandelier would fit perfectly in a room of elegance and comfort. Although opulent in nature, it also shows the romantic side of any room. Adding the seine crackle chandelier to a dining room that is set in an Italian flair or a 18th century European look would pull together the room perfectly. Although it can be used with modern décor, it looks best with furniture of previous centuries.
