How do I hang a matched pair?

Matched pairs look best hung at identical heights in large rooms, symmetrical spaces, or flanking a central architectural feature. Ensure the ceiling hook and electrical wiring can support the combined weight of heavy bronze or crystal fixtures.

Are these wired for modern electricity?

Most antique fixtures have been adapted for modern electrical standards, though checking the internal wiring remains essential before installation. Some early lights may require professional rewiring to meet current safety codes.

How do I clean crystal chandeliers?

Cleaning requires a gentle solution applied by hand to individual glass and crystal drops while they remain on the frame. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can strip the original brass or gilded bronze patinas.

What rooms suit large lanterns?

Large hanging lanterns suit high-ceilinged entrance halls, stairwells, and grand reception rooms where vertical space allows adequate clearance. Measure the drop and total height of the room carefully before purchasing monumental fixtures.
