Wiring a Chandelier

Greetings,

An electrical novice here...I am replacing a light fixture. The box on the ceiling has the two wires plus the gound wire. The antique chandelier I am hanging only has the two wires. What, if anything do I do with the ground wire in the box? Thanks.

If the chandelier provide no place to connect a grounding wire, then you can leave the grounding wire in the ceiling unconnected (except to the box if it is metal).
