This Chandelier was sold through Palladio, our local antique mall on Central Ave. You can visit them at www.thepalladiogroup.com. They had a customer who needed it crated, packed and shipped to a customer north of the Mason-Dixon line. We set about to create a crate that would not allow movement in the chandelier. This is a bit tricky in that this chandelier is collapsible, so it must remain stretched out so as not to hit the sides of the crate and damage the glass beads.

The following pictures show the chandelier attached at the bottom and top. The top is attached with an eyelet screw, and the wiring is turned in and wrapped so as not to hit the glass crystals. The bottom is attached with cable ties in several places, so as to allow minor motion, but not enough to cause damage.
