Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Empire style chandeliers originated in early nineteenth-century France, featuring a distinct tent and waterfall structure inspired by classical Roman and Greek motifs, constructed with brass or bronze frames dressed with crystal droplets.

These chandeliers traditionally feature cast brass or gilt bronze frames supporting cascading strands of octagonal glass or lead crystal beads that form the upper tent canopy and lower waterfall basket.

Authentic pieces exhibit cast metal frames with chased decorative detailing, aged patination, and hand-cut crystal drops connected by wire pins rather than modern machine-pressed clips.

An Empire chandelier serves as a focal point when suspended above a dining table or in an entrance foyer, creating visual contrast against clean-lined contemporary architecture.

Clean the frame and crystals by wiping them gently with a lint-free cloth dampened with a solution of diluted isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, keeping the internal electrical wiring dry.
