The History of Chandeliers

The 17th and 18th centuries saw the rise of elaborate designs during the Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods, with French and Italian artisans leading the way in creating stunning masterpieces. By the 19th century, chandeliers had become indispensable in elegant interiors, often fitted with intricate glass elements and elaborate detailing.
