Vintage chandeliers types

Vintage chandeliers add grandeur
and drama to any living space.  They
create an atmosphere of elegant sophistication that is different from that of
any other modern lighting system.  Many
vintage chandeliers were handmade by master craftsmen and as such are
equipped with a uniqueness that can hardly be hoped for in a factory-made
chandelier.  Vintage chandeliers can be
used as a status symbol, to make an aesthetic statement, for ornamental
purposes and also to illuminate living
spaces.

Types of vintage
chandeliers

Chandeliers are
hanging lamps that are often detailed, with many levels.  A vintage crown, like old wine, was made
some time back in time, but has aged gracefully.  There are different types of vintage crowns
that a buyer needs to be aware
of.

Colonial
revival

In the chandeliers made of
wrought iron, there are patterns that resemble colonial homes.

Sometimes
these chandeliers are called neo-Georgian. 
Colonial-style chandeliers in vintage mostly have arms or branches
that are designed so that they seem to hold light instead of light bulbs.  This feature increases their visual
appeal.

Empire

Chandeliers
designed at the time of Emperor Napoleon have the style of Italian decorative
art etched on them.  .  Their ornate filigree and crystal strings
give them a great and dignified
presence.

Tiffany

Tiffany
chandeliers are art paintings of stained glass produced by the famous Tiffany
and Co.  In New York.  They come in many formats, with some glass
lampshades that have the shape of flower buds.  They are available in many colors, so they
are likely to complement a large number of living
spaces.
