A brief history of the chandelier
The chandelier descends from the heavy medieval wrought-iron "light crowns" that were suspended in naves to illuminate congregations. Its true revolution came in the 17th century with the appearance of crystal: the cut facets multiplied the flicker of candles through refraction, transforming a precarious glow into a glittering 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 wealth before the King. Having become the focal point of reception rooms, it has traversed the ages as the ultimate symbol of opulence, evolving from solid bronze to the ethereal structures of Murano.
