CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS

The History of Crystal Chandeliers

Chandeliers stated being adorned with crystal rock, but it was very difficult to work with due to how brittle and rare it was. In 1676, soft crystalline was developed and used until 1700 when Venetian island of Murano began producing large amounts of hand-blown Venetian glass. In 1800s an Austrian jewelry maker who worked with leaded glass crystals, Daniel Swarovski expanded his business into the crafting of chandeliers.

Chandeliers have so much history and have such a great variety of feelings and images that they bring up. When one looks at the chandeliers adorned with fine Swarovski crystals they cannot help but imagine beautiful women in floor-length gowns on their way to a classy dinner party. During those times, there was no electricity available, oils and candles were used. Doing so created a flickering glow that created a romantic and cozy feel to the space. Our electrified chandeliers are meant to recreate the warm and cozy glow. Each crystal is attached individually as to move along with any breeze that is in the room- it is a great effect due to the fact that it will move and react to the environment as a natural being wood, instead of remaining stationary and unaffected.
