Antique Candle Holder... refinished

My sweet mama brought this gorgeous candle holder with her to give to me! I just love it!
 She found it in a good will or something for just a couple of dollars.  When she found it, it was brass, dingy, and yucky.
 But she is an artist. So she noticed the awesome lines and shape.  Things I forget to look for. I often can not get past the yucky, dingy part.
 She took it home, spray painted it with shiny black paint.  and voila! new life!  gorgeous! 
In the suit case some of the black paint started chipping off to expose the brass underneath.  Which is totally cute now that it's only being "exposed" and not "Fully brass."  It makes it "shabby chic" or whatever. 

Thanks mom!
