Girandoles came into use about the second half of the 17th century, and were commonly made and used in pairs. A girandole has always been, comparatively speaking, a luxurious appliance for lighting, and in the great 18th-century period of French house decoration, the famous ciseleurs designed some exceedingly beautiful examples. A great variety of metals have been used for the purpose. Sometimes, as in the case of candlesticks, girandoles have been made in hardwoods. Gilded bronze has been a very frequent medium, but for table use silver is still the favorite material. Girandoles, or lighting devices, have also been attached to looking glasses and furniture. Some popular mirrors, especially the convex style, and some large dressing...

Antique and Vintage Girandoles

A girandole is a specific type of lighting fixture with at least two candleholders, frequently held aloft on ornate branches. While antique and vintage girandoles are popular in contemporary homes, these fixtures emerged in lighting design in the latter half of the 17th century, with the French name having derived from the Italian girandola.

Girandoles became popular additions to luxurious interiors in the 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe, particularly in England and France. They were typically affixed to walls in pairs and made from a variety of materials, including gilded bronze and hardwoods.

Artists created girandoles inspired by eclectic sources such as ruined buildings, Greek columns, waterfalls, animals and more. This gave them a sense of movement and nostalgia. Some girandoles were made as both a candleholder and a mirror to reflect light into a room. Many of these mirrors are convex to further enhance the illumination though others are flat.

There are all kinds of lighting to enhance your home. On 1stDibs, find a modern, sophisticated girandole that updates this heritage and pairs well with any furniture style, or find an antique example that brings the beauty of the past into your space.
