A Brief History of the Chandelier
The chandelier descends from the heavy medieval wrought-iron "crowns of light" suspended in naves to illuminate gatherings. Its true revolution occurred in the 17th century with the advent of crystal: the cut facets allowed the glow of candles to be multiplied by refraction, transforming a precarious glimmer into a shimmering blaze. At Versailles, this object became an instrument of political power, so codified that the number of its crystals directly displayed the owner's social rank and fortune in the eyes of the King. Becoming the nerve center of reception rooms, it has traversed eras as the ultimate symbol of opulence, evolving from solid bronze to the airy architectures of Murano.
