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Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches.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 Stain Glass Chandeliers
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Stain glass originated in the 4th century with churches and monasteries from the Ancient Roman Empire. Churches and other significant religious buildings often still have stained glass features. In more recent years, stained glass elements can be found in art and design elements, including sculptures and home decor. Shop a range of stained glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- How do you make stained glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The process of making stained glass is easier than it looks. As long as you have the necessary tools: glass, a glass cutter, cutting oil, pliers, copper foil, soldering iron, solder, flux, grinder, and a lightbox, you will master the art of stained glass in no time. The first step to making stained glass is creating a pattern. Next you will cut the glass and grind down the rough edges. Lastly, comes foiling and soldering.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass. Stained glass is colorful glass made by adding metallic oxides to molten glass during the blowing process. Named after Louis Comfort Tiffany who established Tiffany Studios, Tiffany glass involves a technique where copper foil, rather than the traditional lead oxide, serves as the joining material for individual stained glass pieces. Another key characteristic of Tiffany glass is that it often has an opalescent effect that creates variations in color and texture across its surface. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Tiffany glass and other stained glass pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few different ways to determine the age of stained glass. The style and design, type of glass, and type of beveling and leading used can all provide clues to the age of a stained glass item. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser or local antique shop to help identify age identifiers. Shop a selection of stained glass windows and decor on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Stained glass is used in churches to both enhance the beauty and spirituality of the space while also informing the viewer through narrative and symbolism. Shop beautiful stained glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Architects and artists have incorporated stained glass into their designs for centuries and across many different eras. Stained glass was extremely popular during the Gothic and Renaissance periods, and continues to be used to this day. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of stained glass windows from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if stained glass is Tiffany, first examine the piece and look for a maker's mark. Tiffany Studios changed its hallmarks many times over the years. By comparing the marking on your piece to images of hallmarks found on authentic items shared on trustworthy websites, you can begin to identify your glass. The base can provide an additional clue if your stained glass piece is a lamp. Many Tiffany lamps have a gray metal ring located under the cap. If you spot one, your piece may be made by Tiffany. Because there are many reproductions on the market, it is often wise to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process. Find a range of Tiffany glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The purpose of stained glass windows is to let light into a space while also enhancing the visual appeal of a room. In churches, stained glass windows played an instructional role. Before most people knew how to read, the windows helped tell the stories of the Old and New Testaments and the saints. Shop a collection of stained glass windows on 1stDibs.
- Is stained glass Art Nouveau?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, some stained glass is Art Nouveau. It was during this period that Louis Comfort Tiffany produced his famed stained glass windows and decorative objects. However, the tradition of producing stained glass traces all the way back to the Gothic period. You'll find a selection of stained glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A stained-glass window is a glass window that is used to illustrate Biblical persons, groups, stories, and/or patronizing images. Many churches have used stained glass windows in their designs over the years. Churchgoers might look to these windows to reflect on their faith and apply what they see to their daily lives.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends, some doors have panels that can include stained glass but not necessarily all doors. The ideal doors for stained glass are doors that contain a windowpane that can be swapped out. Shop a selection of doors on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021What a stained glass window will be worth will depend on condition and other attributes. A stained glass window can range in price anywhere from $595 to $45,000. Stained glass windows can elevate any home. On 1stDibs, stained glass windows have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, stained glass windows are indeed Art Deco. Between the 1920s and 1950s, color was an integral part of the movement, and stained glass, with its gorgeous hues, was highly celebrated. Find an assortment of stained glass windows from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021An antique piece of stained glass could range in price from $2,000 to $100,000 depending on the style, its condition and much more. It is used in making decorative windows and other objects through which light passes. Find a collection of vintage antique stained glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Gothic period is most famous for stained glass windows. The Art Nouveau period is the second most well known due to the work of glass artisan Louis Comfort Tiffany. You'll find a collection of stained glass windows and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 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 ExpertNovember 13, 2024What the glass part of a chandelier is called depends on the design of the fixture. Some chandeliers have glass covers that fit over their individual lights. These glass covers are shades. Faceted-cut glass accents on chandeliers are generally called crystals. Ones that hang down from a chandelier are pendalogues, and ones that form chains that drape over a chandelier frame are festoons or swags. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of glass and crystal chandeliers.
