FAQs

A French cage chandelier is a style of hanging ceiling light featuring an openwork metal frame shaped like a cage, inside and around which glass or crystal drops are suspended. Originating in 18th-century France, this design allows light to reflect through the crystals while leaving the central core open and visible.

Traditional French chandeliers were predominantly constructed using cast bronze, gilt brass, or wrought iron for the structural frame. The decorative elements consist of hand-cut crystal or molded glass pendeloques, rosettes, and teardrop drops, often paired with faux-candle light sleeves.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-formed metal framework, hand-cut glass or crystal prisms with minor variations, and wire pins holding the drops in place. Look for natural patination or surface oxidisation on the metalwork and hand-threaded screw connections rather than modern uniform components.

An antique chandelier serves as a focal point when hung above a dining table, in an entryway, or above a free-standing bath. Pairing historical lighting with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced contrast that highlights the detailed metalwork and crystal facets.

Clean crystal drops individually using a soft cloth dampened with a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water, taking care not to pull on the connecting wires. Dust the metal frame with a dry microfibre brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip original gilded or patinated finishes.
