The Crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the wall

The first line of an old Country song came to mind when I saw this shot from the Poole Collection. A Waterford Crystal chandelier apparently hanging in the Mayors office, presumably, in Waterford? “Old” Waterford Crystal is making a serious comeback and many people are collecting pieces including chandeliers and admiring the wonderful craftsmanship once more!

Not sure if this is reliable, but this series of Waterford Crystal shots (and an unrelated horse) are sandwiched in the catalog between P_WP_2715 dated 8th July 1917 and P_WP_2719 of 1st August 1917.

The chandelier would be pre 1851, if "old" Waterford, so what was the occasion for the photo?

I can't see one of these objects without thinking of the American inventor William Lear who named one of his daughters "Shanda".

The above photo appears to be the same as one used in an article titled Old Waterford Glass that appeared in the February 1918 edition of Country Life
