Finding the Right Chandeliers-pendant-lights for You
Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.
While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.
The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina, with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier. (Note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too.)
Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged.
Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes.
Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.
For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.
The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the natural world-inspired designs of the Art Nouveau era to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room.
With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs — shop a collection today that includes antique Art Deco chandeliers, Stilnovo chandeliers, Baccarat chandeliers and more.
Questions About Chandelier For Candles

- What is a candle hurricane?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Hurricane lamps are designed to work in high winds because a glass chimney protects the flame. Hurricane candles use liquid paraffin rather than wax and can burn longer and with less odor and smoke. Shop a range of antique and modern hurricane lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is a candle shade?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A candle shade is a fixture or cover that is positioned over a candle's flame to protect it. It enhances the light from a candle while minimizing the glare. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary candle shades from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chandeliers are called chandeliers because the earliest designs were wooden fixtures that held taper candles. The name comes from the French word for candle, "chandelle." On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique and vintage chandeliers from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How tall a candle holder should be depends on the size of the candle you’re using and the overall look of the room. Compared to a candle, a holder should be at least as tall. When choosing candle holders, choose ones that won’t obscure the view. For example, lower candlesticks and candelabras work best on dining tables because they allow you to see the person across from you. On 1stDibs, find a range of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To burn a Fornasetti candle, first trim the wick to remove any soot. Then, light the candle and allow it to burn for up to three hours. Use a snuffer to extinguish the candle, as blowing out the flame can disturb the wax. Find a collection of Fornasetti on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Hurricane candle holders are glass cylindrical domes which go around a candle to protect the flame from getting doused. These candle holders can also be attached to the wall as a hurricane shade.
- What is a candle snuffer called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Candle snuffers are sometimes called "extinguishers," “dousing cones" and "doubters." However, you will normally see them referred to simply as candle snuffers. You can find a selection of antique and vintage candle snuffers from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The point of a candle snuffer is to extinguish candles more carefully. Using one to put out a flame is less likely to cause wax splatters and damage to the candle than blowing out the wick. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique candle snuffers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a glass chandelier and a crystal chandelier is in the materials used to produce the light fixtures. Glass chandeliers are made of glass, a hard, brittle material made by melting together a combination of substances, such as sand, soda ash and limestone. When you add lead to these ingredients, you get crystal, a heavier material that can produce a reflective, sparkling effect when cut. Shop a diverse assortment of glass and crystal chandeliers on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A bobeche for chandeliers was designed to catch the wax that dripped from the candles on early fixtures. Today, they are considered to be an accent piece from which the socket, bulb and candle cover rise. Shop a range of antique and vintage chandeliers on 1stDibs.
