Finding the Right Chandeliers and Pendants for You

Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique and vintage chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.

While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.

The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina (note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too), with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier.

Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged. Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes. Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.

For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.

The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the whimsical — like the work of Beau & Bien’s Sylvie Maréchal, frequently inspired by her dreams — to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room. With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs.

Questions About Chandeliers with Lampshades
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, a glass lampshade can be painted. It’s best to use a paint that’s designed to be applied to glass and to use the instructions that are provided with that paint to get the best results. Shop a range of antique and modern glass lampshades on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    The main parts of a lampshade are the frame, the lining, the outer, the finial and the fitter. Usually made out of metal, the frame is the inner structure of the lampshade that defines its shape. The lining is an inner layer of fabric that helps to diffuse and filter light, while the outer is the fabric or other material on the outside that you can see. Located at the top, the finial is the decorative piece that extends above the shade and remains visible once the accessory is in position. The fitter is the metal piece that attaches to the bulb or lamp to hold the shade in place. Shop a wide variety of lampshades on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, not all lampshades fit all lamps. There are many different varieties of both lampshades and lamps, and it is important to make sure you pair them properly. For a selection of vintage and contemporary lampshades, lamps and other lighting fixtures, browse 1stDIbs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, it is safe to paint a glass lampshade as long as you are using glass-specific paint. One thing to note: If your lampshade is translucent (versus opaque), the paint color will look slightly different when you turn the lamp on.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The lampshade that gives the most light is said to be bell shades. However, the luminance from a lampshade also depends on the room size, shape and purpose of the shade. Traditionally, white shades light up the entire room, whereas dark ones are used for making a vivid picture and are also preferred. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage lampshades.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Chandeliers are called chandeliers because the earliest designs were wooden fixtures that held taper candles. The name comes from the French word for candle, "chandelle." On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique and vintage chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    A bobeche for chandeliers was designed to catch the wax that dripped from the candles on early fixtures. Today, they are considered to be an accent piece from which the socket, bulb and candle cover rise. Shop a range of antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You’ll often see chandeliers with elaborate glass ornamentation serving as a decoration. Quite frequently these glass pendants that hang from the light are called a prism. These pieces add luxe glamour to the light fixture, while also catching illumination and scattering it. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary chandeliers from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No chandeliers do not have candles but the chandelier evolved from the candelabra, which used candles as their light source. Some chandeliers have light fixtures that are designed to look very much like candles while others have moved in a modern direction and look nothing like their candelabra predecessor. Shop a collection of chandeliers and candelabras from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    An Empire chandelier refers to chandeliers crafted in the Empire style. Empire style furniture resembles Louis XIV furniture in its focus on symmetry — it’s rich with ornamentation and frequently sees an integration of Greek or Roman motifs. An Empire style chandelier will add visual appeal and a sense of grandeur of any room. Shop a range of antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    A chandelier light is a type of candelabra lamp, meaning that it is a decorative branched suspension of lights mounted from the ceiling. A variety of antique, new and vintage chandeliers can be found on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019

    Chandeliers should be between half and three quarts, the width of the tabletop located below it, however, this is, of course, subject to change based on the size of the room.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
