What is the difference between a girandole and a chandelier?
1 Answer
The difference between a girandole and a chandelier comes down to where they go. A girandole is a fixture displayed on a wall or surface, while a chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Often, girandoles include wall mirrors. Both types of fixtures either hold candles or feature candle lights that hold electric bulbs. You'll find a selection of antique light fixtures on 1stDibs.
