About Chandeliers

The perfect blend of art and illumination

What is a Chandelier?

A chandelier is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture that typically has multiple branches for holding lights. Originally designed to hold candles, modern chandeliers use electric lights and come in a wide variety of styles and sizes.

Chandeliers are often ornate, containing dozens of lamps and complex arrays of glass or crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light. They serve both as a light source and as a decorative element in interior design.
