Crystal Chandeliers

Is there anything more timeless than crystal chandeliers? Evoking a history of regal chandeliers hung in ballrooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms throughout the centuries, crystal chandeliers never seem to lose their flare. Seeking that elegant statement piece that your space is missing? Chances are, decorating with a new light fixture will add that extra element that you need.

What’s the history behind crystal chandeliers?

Crystal chandeliers have a rich history, and were featured in numerous historical locations, Buckingham Palace and Versailles to name a few! But how exactly was this fixture invented? The first rock crystal chandeliers appeared in the 17th century when French glassmakers attempted to emulate rock crystal with molded glass drops. The venture spanned across Europe, as British glassmaker George Ravenscroft patented flint glass, a new type of glass that would be used to create crystals containing a decent amount of lead oxide in 1676. Lead crystal proved even more of a statement, and was exceptionally transparent. This crystal was softer than Venetian glass. The history of crystal chandeliers does not stop there! Following the trend of lead crystal, innovator Daniel Swarovski started producing cut stones for ornate crystal chandeliers.

Crystal Chandeliers seem traditional, what if that is not my style?

While many associate crystal chandeliers with a traditional past, the twenty-first century has done a lot to modernize the look! No longer are crystals solely associated with traditional and classical styles, but glam as well! Crystal chandeliers are more than the traditional tiered look. In fact, any glam chandeliers include a shade that features crystal accents- hinting at the past while providing a glamorous updated look.

What sized room works best for crystal chandeliers?

Due to the variety of sizes of crystal chandeliers, there is a chandelier for nearly any room size! From dining rooms to bedrooms, bathrooms, and all rooms in between. Typically, it is recommended that you measure your room in square feet. Take the length and width of your room and add the two together. The sum is the width (in inches) that your chandelier should be! For example, if your room is 10 ft. x 20 ft, you should look at crystal chandeliers that are around 30" wide.

How do you clean crystal chandeliers?

Most crystal chandeliers are simple to clean and require limited additional resources. Depending upon how high your ceilings are, a ladder may or may not be needed. We recommend having another person assist you with cleaning, especially if it involves stepping on a ladder! Simply wipe down the chandelier with a clean cloth, and remove any traces of dust that may have accumulated on the crystals. After polishing up the crystals with your cloth- your chandelier should look as good as new.
