Glass Chandeliers

Chandeliers give that special look to interiors by adding a touch of sparkle and style. Chandeliers are a stylish way of fulfilling a functional need i.e., of lighting up the area needed for dining and entertaining. Some other areas in homes where chandeliers are used are bedrooms, foyers, living rooms, or over a grand piano. Some chandeliers are designed to focus lights on specific work areas. Such chandeliers can be placed in a child?s room giving focus over areas used for homework or table games. Features like dimmer controls and chandelier shades allows for adjustments to the intensity of light. The intensity can be chosen as per mood and activity.

Glass chandeliers are magnificent, opulent pieces of art. Of course glass chandeliers come in several different shapes and sizes, but even a no frills one is pretty ornamental. A well made glass chandelier can really raise the levels of décor if placed in a suitable ambience.

Developments in glassmaking in the 18th century led to the production of lead crystal. As lead crystal was cheaper and had attractive light-scattering properties it soon became a popular addition in the construction of chandeliers. Crystal chandeliers continue to be in vogue even today.

Crystal chandeliers are in a class of their own. One can easily differentiate between an ordinary glass chandelier and a crystal one. The way a crystal chandelier disperses light is what makes it irresistible. The room décor is very important for a glass or crystal chandelier to blend in. A glass chandelier would look out of place in a home decorated with log furniture.

One very important thing to be kept in mind while buying a glass chandelier is that they require a lot of maintenance. Regular and through cleaning is a must as glass tends to gather dust very quickly. Intricate carving means that many more nooks and crannies for dust to settle in.

Once lit, a well made glass chandelier will prove that it is worth all the maintenance.
