FAQs

French birdcage chandeliers are characterised by their open, curved metal frameworks that resemble a traditional aviary, typically accented with numerous cut glass or crystal drops.

These fixtures were traditionally constructed using cast or forged brass and bronze frames, often gilded, and hung with lead glass or moulded crystal prisms.

Authentic period pieces usually exhibit hand-cut glass prisms with natural inclusions, pinned wire construction rather than modern welding, and appropriate metal ageing and oxidisation.

They serve as focal points in modern spaces by providing a contrasting element of historic ornamentation and reflective texture against minimalist architecture.

Prisms should be carefully hand-wiped in situ using a mild solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the metal finish.
