The Face In The Girandole: A Romance Of Old Furniture is a novel written by William Frederick Dix and first published in 1906. The story revolves around a young man named John, who inherits an old mansion from his uncle. As he explores the house, he discovers a mysterious girandole - an ornate candle-holder - that seems to have a life of its own.

As he delves deeper into the history of the mansion and its former occupants, John uncovers a tragic love story that may be connected to the girandole.
