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Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches.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 Chandelier From Denmark
- Is Dansk made in Denmark?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024Whether Dansk is made in Denmark varies depending on the age of the piece. In 1965 and 1966, Dansk Designs relocated its manufacturing center to France. As a result, pieces made prior to the mid-1960s usually originated in Denmark, while later objects and furnishings were made in France. Shop a range of Dansk Designs tableware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chandeliers are called chandeliers because the earliest designs were wooden fixtures that held taper candles. The name comes from the French word for candle, "chandelle." On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique and vintage chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 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.
- How can I ship a chandelier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To ship a chandelier, you must ensure that the chandelier is held inside a sturdy crate and packed with enough cushioning material to withstand accidents. Make sure you have plenty of bubble wrap and foam held in place with strong tape. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique and contemporary chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
- How heavy can a chandelier be?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019
The weight of a chandelier is dependent on the ceiling’s strength. A concrete ceiling can likely support any size chandelier because of its sturdiness, but a wooden or drywalled ceiling will not be able to support as much weight due to its more fragility.
- What is chandelier lighting?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019
A chandelier is typically suspended from a branching system with multiple lights on the ends, rather than one single light or a pair of lights hanging from a chord or chain.
1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019Chandelier lighting is a branched, highly ornamented light fixture that is typically (suspended from) mounted on ceilings lamps.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The significance of chandeliers is largely a matter of personal opinion. Some people associate them with the history of lighting because they marked a major breakthrough in indoor illumination. Others consider them symbols of wealth and extravagance. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique and vintage chandeliers.
- What is a tole chandelier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A tole chandelier refers to a type of chandelier that is painted metal, often fashioned to look like greenery and flowers, similar to folk art. Tole chandeliers tend to have a base color of cream, white or gold that seamlessly pairs with a wide range of home décor styles. Shop a selection of vintage and contemporary chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Bohemian chandelier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Bohemian chandelier is one that is made with naturally occurring details like rattan, bamboo or macrame. They can be decorated with pendants like seashells and feathers as well. Add some boho-chic to your décor by shopping a collection of Bohemian chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
Chandeliers should be between half and three quarts, the width of the tabletop located below it, however, this is, of course, subject to change based on the size of the room.
- Do chandeliers have candles?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No chandeliers do not have candles but the chandelier evolved from the candelabra, which used candles as their light source. Some chandeliers have light fixtures that are designed to look very much like candles while others have moved in a modern direction and look nothing like their candelabra predecessor. Shop a collection of chandeliers and candelabras from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is chandelier light?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A chandelier light is a type of candelabra lamp, meaning that it is a decorative branched suspension of lights mounted from the ceiling. A variety of antique, new and vintage chandeliers can be found on 1stDibs.
- What is an Empire chandelier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021An Empire chandelier refers to chandeliers crafted in the Empire style. Empire style furniture resembles Louis XIV furniture in its focus on symmetry — it’s rich with ornamentation and frequently sees an integration of Greek or Roman motifs. An Empire style chandelier will add visual appeal and a sense of grandeur of any room. Shop a range of antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A bobeche for chandeliers was designed to catch the wax that dripped from the candles on early fixtures. Today, they are considered to be an accent piece from which the socket, bulb and candle cover rise. Shop a range of antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- What are chandelier pendants?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You’ll often see chandeliers with elaborate glass ornamentation serving as a decoration. Quite frequently these glass pendants that hang from the light are called a prism. These pieces add luxe glamour to the light fixture, while also catching illumination and scattering it. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary chandeliers from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Waterford chandeliers are marked. To find the acid mark on a fixture, reach for a magnifying glass and examine the piece in a well-lit area. Usually, the mark is on the frame. You'll find a selection of expertly vetted Waterford chandeliers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you assemble a Murano chandelier depends on its design. Modern chandeliers come with assembly instructions. Follow them to ensure that you put your light fixture together properly. On 1stDibs, find a range of Murano chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
- How much does a chandelier cost?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019
The cost of a chandelier is dependent on the material, size, age, designer, origin…etc. For example, a midcentury chandelier made of plastic and steel will be less expensive than a 19th-century chandelier crafted with Baccarat crystals.
- How did old chandeliers work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Old chandeliers first worked because of taper candles inserted into their frames and lit nightly to provide illumination for a room.
