These Georgian-inspired sconces and 3-light chandelier would work well together in any bathroom or dressing room.  The sconces will nicely frame a mirror or vanity and the chandelier is a great classic piece. I would recommend Gold & Silver Cone or Sahara Y-Knot to tone down the polished brass and create an elegant piece.  Blue & Gold Basket will play on the gold brass and create a beautiful conversation piece.  Any of the solids, particularly classic colors such as Navy Solid and Forest Green Solid will complement its Early-American style. These pieces retail on eBay for $29 and $97.90, respectively.
