 Chandeliers with candles

The days of Natasha Rostova are long gone, but contemporaries were able to get their hands on a piece of past life. Chandeliers with candles have become a beautiful binder of two different eras. In the old days, these lighting devices not only illuminated, but also decorated the houses of noble gentlemen, luxurious ballrooms, and despite the fact that eyes now diverge from a wide range of modern models, candle chandeliers are still in great demand among consumers. They make the interior truly luxurious, allow you to transfer in time.

Features and benefits

Unlike their predecessors, the candelabra that once decorated ancient palaces and estates, today's chandeliers are not completed with paraffin candles, they were replaced for a long time by small lamps, shaped like flames.

A graceful, romantic, sweet ceiling lamp with candles can complement any interior, create a special atmosphere - intimate, or vice versa, pompous and solemn. It all depends on the materials that were taken for its manufacture and the style direction of the room.

For example, large and pretentious forged lamps, made in the Gothic style, will dip the owners and guests of the house in the Middle Ages. To whom this option is not to their liking, they can choose simple monochromatic products in the form of a cascade. Such lighting devices are suited to minimalism and even high-tech style.

Most often, chandeliers with candles decorate the spacious rooms with high ceilings. In such rooms, illuminators show themselves best. They add a zest to the home, do an excellent job with their main function of lighting, and also help to relax, transfer people to the era of court ladies and kings.

Many models of chandeliers in the shape of candles are decorated with different glass elements and crystal pendants. Some have gilded fittings, so that the appearance of such products becomes more beautiful and original.

These sophisticated lamps are the ideal solution for decorating a room with an expensive baroque, rococo interior or for a spacious house with a country design. Modern styles also involve the use of lamps with candles. The main thing is to choose a suitable chandelier model. But stopping your choice on massive chandeliers, you need to remember that some lighting accessories can weigh up to 50 kg, which means that you need a competent and reliable installation.

Heavy lamps will be appropriate in the halls of the classic style of large squares, also this lighting option is suitable for decorating the living room, common room in a cottage or restaurant.

The main advantage of candle hangers is an elegant and extraordinary look. They are quite capable of becoming the highlight of the interior, its central detail. Meanwhile, despite their apparent massiveness, they are easy to install and do not need special care. Candles replace the ordinary cover, and the room does not suffer from excess light. On the contrary, the pleasant luminescence and the outgoing heat from the lamps fill the inner space, making it cozy and comfortable for a pleasant stay.

Germany and Italy are considered the leaders in the production of candlelit lamps, although domestic firms have proven that their products are no worse, and this is proved by the number of sales of products.

What do they look like?

Chandeliers with candles from different manufacturers have different finishes. But despite the rich choice, they are all unique in their own way. Their frames are made of wrought brass, iron, bronze. Sometimes they are covered with gold or silver, decorated with crystal elements.

Often these lamps are found in multi-lamp version, they are called - multi-lamp. Lamp candles in such a product can be from five or more. Ceiling in such chandeliers is missing.

Species

Basically, these lighting devices differ in their size, materials of execution and decoration, as well as the number of lighting elements. The “classic” of the genre is a crystal chandelier, but this option is quite expensive, so manufacturers have provided a cheaper version of such hangings - made of glass.

Candle chandeliers can be huge and therefore hang in large halls, or be small, which meanstake up relatively little space and fit modest-sized rooms.

Regarding materials, it is possible to find lamps with fabric and ceramic elements. The choice of one or another variant depends on the interior of the room where the chandelier will be used. Hanging lamp can be black or have white tone.

Sources of light

Manufacturers of lighting accessories have long concluded that chandeliers in the form of candles remain popular and in great demand because of their originality. That is why many companies are trying not to spoil the originality of these products, trying to maximize their creations to the original appearance. And in order to achieve the desired, manufacturers use different light sources.

In the old days, it was impossible to replace a wax candle with something, but unlike its predecessors, modern models with candles can come from three different sources of illumination:

  • Incandescent lamps. These small devices have a shape as close as possible to the shape of a candle flame. Today, there are different models of lamps, there are even those that mimic the burning of a candle,swinging in the wind (the tip of such a lamp is sharp and directed in one direction "in the direction of the wind"). Candle chandelier made with E14 base.
  • Wax candles. Chandeliers that involve the use of natural candles can be called ceiling chandeliers. They fill the surrounding space with romance, bring a touch of charm into the interior, transfer in time. In order not to witness the unpleasant side effects in the form of burning and the disgusting smell of soot, it is better to use stearic candles in such lighting accessories. They do not smoke and do not melt. Also do not be amiss the cap to extinguish the wick with a long handle. Such a simple device will help to extinguish the candles without any problems.
  • LEDs (for example, Brizzi). Such "candles", besides the fact that the flickering of a wax candle is imitated as accurately as possible, is very economical. They can operate both from the main power line and from a point source (batteries or battery). The control panel is another nice gift that complements the beautiful and economical kit.

Where and how are they used?

A chandelier is an element of the interior that cannot be bought at random.

A nondescript lamp under the ceiling does not decorate the house and certainly will not lift the mood of the owners. Guests will not notice him, and the room will remain without a beautiful highlight.

Forged chandeliers with candles - is another matter. They will become a center accent, which is simply unrealistic to overlook. And they are not at all part of only expensive interior. Cascade form, a minimum of materials and colors will suit a minimalist interior. But if a more graceful and characteristic chandelier was chosen, for example, with bronze monograms, it is worth supporting it with other forged elements, for example, a stand for flowers.

Lamps in the form of candles can not be installed anywhere. Firstly, their weight and massiveness do not allow mounting suspensions in rooms with low ceilings. A large light fixture will visually reduce the space.

Secondly, the style of the interior makes its own adjustments to the choice of the light source. Chandeliers-candles are completely out of place in some interiors, for example, in the style of hi-tech, modern, shebbi-chic. They will harmoniously fit into the rooms decorated in the styles of gothic, vintage, empire, baroque, art deco, classic.

In general, candle chandeliers are very heavy, so a ceiling hook is required for their installation. Thanks to such a simple fixture, the lighting device will be securely fixed, and its operation will be absolutely safe for humans.
