Chandeliers

While many people believe that antique and vintage chandeliers at auction are reserved for the affluent, they can be for anyone. Bidsquare's online auction provides a large assortment of antique and vintage chandeliers for sale that would go well with any décor. Chandeliers are typically elaborate and employ incandescent bulbs, however, some newer models use Porcelain Lamps, fluorescent lights, Crystal Lamp and, more recently, LED lights.

A chandelier is a multi-branched decorative lighting fixture that may be installed on ceilings and walls. Classical chandeliers include rows of suspended crystal prisms that lighten a space with refracting light. Modern chandeliers feature a very minimalistic form without prisms. Modern chandeliers brighten an area with direct lighting from the bulbs, with clear glass enclosing every bulb. Modern chandeliers feature a more updated style that incorporates LEDs and incorporates aspects from both antique and futuristic styles. Some antique and vintage chandeliers for sale even include crystal prisms that refract or tiny mirrors. The initial chandeliers, that emerged in the 1300s, were satisfactorily practical. Antique and vintage chandeliers at furniture auction were frequently employed as ornamental key elements for interiors by the turn of the twentieth century, although they did not always illuminate.

  • Chandeliers developed from candelabra which were first used in the Middle Ages. They utilized candles as primary means of lighting until the 1700s, before gas lights were created, which were subsequently replaced by electric lamps

  • Chandeliers come from the term "chandelle," which is French for "candle holder".
