FAQs

Bag chandeliers originated in the 18th century and gained popularity through the Regency and Victorian eras, characterised by a distinctive mesh or frame that holds numerous glass drops shaped like a purse or bag.

These fixtures typically feature a cast brass or gilt metal frame, wired or strung with hand-cut lead glass crystals, often incorporating various prism shapes such as coffin drops, buttons, and spears.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut glass showing minor imperfections or air bubbles, patinated brass components with age-appropriate wear, and wire-tied rather than modern pinned crystal assemblies.

A small vintage chandelier adds a layer of textural refraction and historical contrast when hung in unexpected spaces like hallways, cloakrooms, or above a bedside table.

Clean crystals delicately in situ using a mild solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol applied with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the aged metal finish.
