A chandelier, also known as a girandole, candelabra lamp, or occasionally as suspended lights, is an ornate light fixture designed to be affixed to ceilings or walls. Traditionally, chandeliers feature branching arms adorned with multiple light bulbs, although modern designs may vary. While incandescent bulbs were historically predominant, contemporary chandeliers may also incorporate fluorescent lamps or LEDs.
Classical chandeliers are often embellished with hanging crystal prisms, dispersing refracted light throughout a space. In contrast, modern designs may opt for a sleeker aesthetic, eschewing prisms in favor of direct light from the lamps, sometimes complemented by translucent glass coverings. Some modern chandeliers blend elements of both classic and contemporary styles, incorporating features like LEDs alongside refractive crystal prisms or mirrors.
Chandeliers differ from pendant lights in their construction and complexity. Whereas pendant lights typically consist of a single lamp suspended from a cord, chandeliers boast multiple lamps arranged on branching frames, often with intricate decorative elements. Due to their size and grandeur, chandeliers are commonly found in prominent areas such as hallways, living rooms, staircases, lounges, and dining rooms. However, smaller versions, known as miniature chandeliers, cater to more confined spaces like bedrooms or compact living areas.
The origins of chandeliers trace back to candelabra during the medieval era, initially employing candles for illumination. The advent of gas lighting in the 18th century, followed by electric lighting, revolutionized chandelier design. While early chandeliers were elaborate and intricate, the widespread availability of gas and electricity diminished their status as symbols of wealth and luxury. Nonetheless, chandeliers retained their allure as decorative focal points in rooms, even if they weren't always relied upon for illumination.
