FAQs

French birdcage chandeliers typically feature an open, curved metal framework resembling a cage, adorned extensively with cut crystal droplets and central candle-style lights.

Traditional construction involves cast bronze or brass frames, often with a gilt finish, combined with hand-cut lead crystal drops and glass central stems.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-cut glass with subtle imperfections, pinned glass drops rather than modern wired attachments, and patinated metal frames consistent with age.

Pairing an ornate historical fixture with minimalist architectural lines and neutral walls creates a striking focal point and balances traditional weight with modern simplicity.

Clean crystals carefully in situ using a specialised spray cleaner and a lint-free cloth, ensuring power is isolated and avoiding harsh chemicals on the gilded metal frame.
