How do I choose the right size?

Consider the proportions of your room and the ceiling height. Smaller fixtures measuring around fifteen inches suit compact spaces, while larger thirty-inch chandeliers require higher ceilings to hang comfortably. Ensure there is adequate clearance beneath the lowest point of the chandelier for foot traffic, particularly in hallways or over dining tables.

What periods do these lights come from?

The pieces span the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, including Edwardian and Art Deco eras. Dates range from the late 1800s through the 1930s. Stylistic cues such as streamlined geometric lines or ornate rococo scrolls help indicate the specific decade of manufacture.

How do I clean a crystal chandelier?

Dust the frame and crystal drops regularly with a soft duster or microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, apply a specialist glass cleaner to a cloth and wipe each crystal individually. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the metal frame or electrical components to protect the antique finish and wiring.
