FAQs

French crystal chandeliers gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries, evolving from simple metal frames to ornate structures adorned with cut glass prisms and pendants to maximise candlelight reflection.

These fixtures typically feature frames constructed from brass, bronze, or wrought iron, intricately strung with lead crystal or glass beads, pendants, and drops.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-cut nature of the glass, the presence of pin-prick air bubbles in older glass elements, hand-wired connections, and the specific casting marks on the metal frame.

Pairing a historic chandelier with minimalist contemporary furniture creates a striking contrast, adding a layer of texture and understated elegance to clean architectural lines.

Dust the fixture regularly with a soft brush and clean the crystal components individually using a specialist non-abrasive glass cleaner applied with a lint-free cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals on the metal framework.
