Questions About Old World Chandeliers
  • Who makes the best chandeliers in the world?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    No single brand makes the best chandeliers in the world. Over the years, chandeliers, which were initially inspired by candelabras and were originally made of wood or iron, have been part of the main focus for lighting brands and individual lighting designers all over the globe. Some well-known designers and manufacturers include Vistosi, Stilnovo, Louis Poulsen, Arteluce, FLOS, Venini and Angelo Gaetano Sciolari. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of chandeliers from some of the world's top sellers.
  • How did old chandeliers work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Old chandeliers first worked because of taper candles inserted into their frames and lit nightly to provide illumination for a room. In the 18th century, chandeliers produced flickering flames fueled by natural gas, butane, propane or a similar substance. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage chandeliers.
  • How can I tell how old a chandelier is?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell how old your chandelier is, look for a maker’s mark often included somewhere on the chandelier. From there, you can research the specific company that manufactured it. Also consider the power source — candle- and gas-lit chandeliers were common until the early 1900s when electric chandeliers became popular. Even if your chandelier was upgraded to be fully electric, check for signs of the previous system. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • How do I update an old brass chandelier?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can update an old brass chandelier in many ways. Refinish it with spray paint to give it a more modern hue or slip new sleeves over the candles. You can also add embellishments like crystals to the frame. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage chandeliers.
