The Greeks and Romans knew chandeliers as "lucerna pensilis" or "lychnuchus pensilis".
The Middle Ages called chandeliers "crowns of light". They were made of metal and later of glass.
The laced chandeliers of the 18th century were chandeliers with garlands of glassware and pendants.

Initially a simple suspended lighting object, the chandelier gradually became an essential and spectacular decorative element, using precious metals, natural crystal and fine glassware.

The chandelier is the most extravagant of hanging lights.
It dares to be flashy and glittery, to make a spectacle of itself without fail and to make the light dance above our heads...
