HISTORY OF GLASS CRYSTALS

The origin of crystal glass is closely connected to the development of chandeliers. Originally serving as candle holders, these fixtures were suspended from the ceiling to provide illumination while also minimizing fire hazards.

During the late 17th century, a technique for casting glass prisms was invented. This type of glass was more affordable and easier to work with compared to natural rock crystal which required extensive mining and processing. This is why artisans began creating innovative chandelier designs using this casted glass material. These new models featured hand-cut and polished pieces in various shapes and angles which enhanced their ability to emit brighter candlepower light.

MODERN GLASS CHANDELIERS

Modern glass chandeliers are so versatile. It complements a variety of styles and decor schemes. With the use of different types of glass, as well as different colours, finishes, and shapes, these lights have the ability to create a sophisticated and grand atmosphere or serve as a captivating piece of modern artwork.

TYPES OF GLASS CHANDELIERS

Clear Glass Chandeliers

Coloured Glass Chandeliers

These chandeliers were made using coloured glass. They bring a unique and personal touch to any space. They offer an excellent option for setting the mood or ambience in a room.

Textured Glass Chandeliers

Common Features of Glass Chandeliers

Contemporary or modern glass chandeliers incorporate glass into their designs, either as the main material or for added embellishments. In addition to that, these lighting fixtures utilize glass in innovative and unconventional ways, while also leveraging its timeless appeal as a classic element.

TIPS FOR BUYING CHANDELIERS

Chandelier Size

There's a simple guideline you can follow:

It is suggested that the width of a chandelier should be 12 inches less than the width of your table. In addition to that, there should be about 48 inches of clearance between the chandelier and each wall or edge in the room. In terms of height, you'll want to hang your chandelier around 30-34 inches above an average-sized table with an 8-foot ceiling height.

If your ceiling is taller than 8 feet, you should consider mounting the chandelier slightly higher. For every extra foot of ceiling height, raise the chandelier by an additional 3 inches. This will help ensure that the chandelier is properly positioned and doesn't appear too low in relation to the ceiling height. So, if you have a high-ceilinged room and want to create an elegant ambiance with a beautiful lighting fixture like a chandelier, remember to adjust its hanging position accordingly.

When it comes to hanging a chandelier, getting the placement and height just right is crucial for creating a stunning visual effect. In a dining room setting, you want to position the chandelier at the center of both your dining table and room proportions. It's important to avoid buying chandeliers that are wider than your table. Many people tend to forget the possibility that your family members or guests might accidentally bump into them when they stand up when choosing chandeliers when too focused on the visual effect.

It is important to keep in mind that the illumination coming from a chandelier, regardless of the situation, should enhance the appearance of a room, individuals, household items and valued belongings.

Chandelier bulb

It's worth considering that having a chandelier overhead can create unflattering shadows on the face due to the way the light is directed. Also, the heat produced by bulbs positioned directly above can sometimes be uncomfortable.

Here are some tips when it comes to selecting bulbs:

Don't use chandelier light bulbs with high wattage as they will produce more heat and result in too much glare on the table.

Consider putting shades on candelabra bulbs used for your chandelier or installing a wall dimmer to have better control over the lighting, allowing you to create a more pleasant atmosphere that suits your preferences.

If you have a chandelier that doesn't have a central downlight, one trick to spruce up your dining room table is to incorporate recessed adjustable fixtures with narrow beam bulbs. By doing so, you can add an extra touch of beauty and accentuate the centerpiece in your dining area.
Try aiming some bulbs at the centerpiece on your table. This will not only add an extra layer of visual interest, but also enhance the overall effect created by your chandelier.

HOW TO CLEAN GLASS CHANDELIERS

Before you start cleaning your glass chandeliers, it's a smart move to plan ahead. Chandeliers often have intricate hanging patterns for the crystal or glass accents, so take note of how everything fits together before diving in. Consider making a simple drawing or diagram to help you remember where each part goes. If possible, snap a quick photo with your digital camera too – it can come in handy later on during the cleaning process.
Most chandeliers are DIY-friendly and can be cleaned over the weekend. Here's another suggestion: clean the chandelier in small, manageable sections. But if your fixture is too high or has a complex design, you may need to hire professional cleaners.
Cleaning a chandelier doesn't require any fancy supplies. They’re easy to source out in marketplaces or available at home. Just grab a step ladder and some pads or a ground cloth to protect your floors and furniture from any accidents. It's also a good idea to wear white gloves or use soft, lint-free clothes when handling delicate glass to avoid leaving fingerprints behind.

When it comes to cleaning a chandelier, there are two different approaches - the method of cleaning with the crystal or glass still on, and the method of removing the crystal or glass before cleaning. Both methods have their advocates and can be effective in their own ways.

Glass on Method

If you want to give your chandelier a thorough cleaning without removing the glass or crystal, here's a simple solution: mix one part isopropyl alcohol with four parts distilled water in a spray bottle.

Spray a small amount of this solution onto a white cotton glove or lint-free cloth. Gently wipe the crystal or glass using the damp cloth, then promptly dry it using another glove or cloth. Take your time to ensure that you don't cause any damage to the hanging glass or ornaments. It's important to avoid ammonia-based cleaners as they can strip away the finish on gold or silver metal hooks that hold the crystal elements in place.

Glass off Method

If you're unsure, it's safer to remove the glass or crystal completely. This method also allows for better access to clean the chandelier frame. You can use the same cleaning solution as mentioned earlier.

If your chandeliers have more dirt or grime that has built up, try hand-washing the glass in lukewarm soapy water using gentle dish soap.

Once done, rinse immediately with clean water and dry using a soft cloth. To prolong the time between cleanings, lightly dust your chandelier every two or three months with a feather duster or lambswool duster.

No matter your personal style, adding a glass chandelier to your home is sure to bring an element of timeless beauty and elegance. These luxurious light fixtures have the power to transform any room into a sophisticated space that captivates all who enter.
