FAQs

French chandeliers gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries in royal courts, evolving from simple wooden frames to elaborate gilded bronze structures adorned with rock crystal and later lead glass to maximise candle and gas light reflection.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a cast bronze or brass frame finished with mercury gilding or ormolu, hand-cut glass or crystal prisms suspended by wire loops, and metal armature frameworks designed to support multiple light tiers.

Authenticity is determined by examining the casting quality of the metal, the presence of hand-cut rather than machine-moulded crystals with natural inclusions or pinpricks, hand-twisted wire fastenings, and overall patination consistent with age.

A classic chandelier creates a striking focal point when suspended in a modern minimalist dining room, high-ceilinged hallway, or contrasting urban loft, adding textural contrast and sophisticated ambient illumination.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and careful hand-cleaning of crystals using a mild solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol while avoiding harsh commercial chemicals that can strip the metal gilding.
