Finding the Right Chandeliers-pendant-lights 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Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches.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 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, 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. (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.)
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 natural world-inspired designs of the Art Nouveau era 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 — shop a collection today that includes antique Art Deco chandeliers, Stilnovo chandeliers, Baccarat chandeliers and more.
Questions About Crystal Starburst Chandelier
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What the crystals on chandeliers are called are pendalogues. Makers adorn their chandeliers with pendalogues in an array of shapes and sizes. Some chandeliers may also feature crystal bead chains, crystal candle bobeches and other decorative accents. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of chandeliers from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To date chandelier crystals, hold them up to the light and look for acid marks. If you find one, use an authoritative online resource to research the mark and identify the manufacturer. You can then estimate the age based on the style of the crystal. If you can't find a mark, take the crystal to a licensed appraiser for a professional evaluation. Shop a selection of expertly vetted antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a glass chandelier and a crystal chandelier is in the materials used to produce the light fixtures. Glass chandeliers are made of glass, a hard, brittle material made by melting together a combination of substances, such as sand, soda ash and limestone. When you add lead to these ingredients, you get crystal, a heavier material that can produce a reflective, sparkling effect when cut. Shop a diverse assortment of glass and crystal chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can spot a real crystal chandelier by checking a few things with the crystal glass itself. First, feel the weight. Crystal is made with lead and will be heavier than glass. Next, the clearer the piece, the more likely it is crystal. And finally, hold the crystal up to light. Light will pass through glass as clear, but crystal refracts the light into rainbows of light. Shop a selection of chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, chandeliers made from real crystal contain lead. That is because authentic crystal is glass made with lead oxide. The presence of lead gives crystal its sparkling effect. You'll find a selection of crystal chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes. Crystal chandeliers are still in style and can be found embellishing any room in the home. Crystal chandeliers come in many different shapes and sizes and can be very simple or highly decorative. Shop a selection of vintage and modern crystal chandeliers from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The hanging crystals on a chandelier are called pendalogues, sometimes spelled pendeloques. They can also be referred to simply as prisms. Shop a wide variety of chandelier prisms and pendalogues from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
