Candle Chandelier Dreams Come True
The vintage beauty of a candle chandelier cannot be beat by any modern lighting system. No one compares a candlelit dinner to silk lamp shades, nor a Jacuzzi framed with tea lights to halogen bulbs. Similarly, candle chandeliers cannot be rivaled for their enchanting light and antique magnificence. I didn’t need to tell you this. What you might not know, however, is how many forms the candle chandelier has taken on. Lighting designers seized the opportunity to take something already beautiful and personalize it to different style tastes.
Let your mind expand beyond the large luxurious candle chandeliers with dozens of candles and even more dozens of crystal prisms. The modern chandelier is just as romantic and can create the intimate atmosphere perfect for small company, winter nights with a good book, and an inviting holiday dinner. The traditional hanging candle chandelier is even competed with exquisite forms of tabletop chandeliers.
The Parisian candle chandelier, where the branches swoop down, out, and then cup upwards again to hold the candle is an elegant choice. The shabby chic candle chandelier is a sweet takeoff. A similar shape in the branches, but is generally much smaller, even tabletop size, and makes use of dangling crystals or beads.
A wrought iron candle chandelier is classic. Wrought iron is usually black, and offers a dramatic and captivating effect with candlelight. The iron can be welded into any form. It can hold taper candles, be your perfect votive candle chandelier… or if you finally want to use those decorative pillar candles, an iron pillar candle chandelier may make your evening.
The dancing light of candles is unbeatable. But if a wax candle chandelier presents a fear of fire hazards that is overriding, or uneven burning is bothersome, look into quality electric forms. A faux candle chandelier doesn’t actually use wax candles; bulbs are housed in a design imitating a candle, but without the fear of fire hazards or a sudden breeze extinguishing that intimate light. Almost any candle chandelier you like can be bought in an electric form as well.
Be sure to note that if you look into an outdoor candle chandelier—a brilliant choice for intimate party lighting—to consider all the safety precautions and directions that come with your chandelier. These are generally smaller and lightweight, easily hung from a lattice overhang.
This is just a taste. Candle chandeliers will turn the night into a different world. Explore the possibilities!
