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Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches.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 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 Swarovski Crystal Sputnik
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    While Swarovski crystals aren’t naturally occurring, they are lead glass crystals made in the tradition of leaded glass with additives, including lead, to create their finished gemstone-like appearance. This would mean that they’re not actual gemstones but they are real crystal glass. Shop a collection of Swarovski from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    When loose, Swarovski crystals are generally not valuable, especially when compared to precious gemstones. However, some Swarovski jewelry and decorative accents are valuable because they appeal to collectors. For example, there is generally a market for some limited-edition Swarovski figurines. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can help you determine the value of a specific Swarovski piece. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Swarovski has discontinued its loose crystals sold as craft and jewelry-making supplies. They are no longer available for purchase as of summer 2021. However, Swarovski continues to manufacture crystal jewelry and decorative objects. You'll find a selection of Swarovski crystal jewelry and art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Whether Swarovski crystal is worth anything varies from piece to piece. Some Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects are highly sought among collectors and have increased in value as a result. Typically, the most valuable pieces are those from limited edition series. Age and condition also impact how much a particular piece is worth. To get an estimate of the value of your crystal ware, consult a knowledgeable appraiser or dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Swarovski crystal pieces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Yes, Givenchy does use Swarovski crystals in some jewelry designs. However, the French luxury fashion house also produces jewelry featuring glass rhinestones instead of the Austrian maker's crystal. Other common materials include faux pearls and plated metal. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Givenchy jewelry from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    Yes, Swarovski uses real crystals. However, the stones in Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects are not naturally occurring. Crystal refers to man-made glass that features a hardening agent. Swarovski is well known for producing high-quality crystals with tremendous sparkle. Shop a collection of Swarovski pieces from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Swarovski crystals are man-made, not natural. However, that is not unique to crystalware. Crystal glass is not a naturally occurring substance and instead is produced by adding an oxide of silica, lead, antimony or another element to glass. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Swarovski jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top dealers.
