New ceiling light

I'll show off my wife's work. A few weeks ago we picked up a light fixture from an antique store that was is rough shape and missing some of the crystals.
She took it apart and cleaned it up and tried a bunch of different ways to apply patina to the brass. Ended up buying a solution and it turned out great. Then applied a wax to it. Then I rewired it. We plan on buying LED Edison bulbs for it.
Here it is during assembly
And the finished product
We are both very happy with it. We still need to do 3 more like this. This one is in the living room. We need a dining room light, a simpler one for the parlor and an even simpler on for the upstairs landing.
