The chandelier is the most grandiose lighting fixture ever created by man, which deserves to be hung in the middle of a spacious room where everyone will be captivated by its sheer elegance. Whether with lights on or lights out, it still displays its extravagant image especially when it is a glass chandelier with those captivating luminaries.

During the 15^th century, designs of chandeliers were patterned from the shape of a ring or a crown worn by the Royal families. They were only found in palaces, in noblemen’s houses, in churches and other elite residences, connoting a high stature in life and opulence. It is a masterpiece of great craftsmanship where elaborate grace and magnificence are combined to produce an amazing piece of lighting to adorn a posh place.

One beautiful art-piece of a glass chandelier is the Murano glass chandelier. From the name itself, one would know right away from the look that this comes from the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. It is also where the glass-blowing originated, which were used to adorn the hanging lighting fixture adding to its classy shimmering produced by the reflection of the crystals. Thus, this blown glass chandelier is the most popular in Europe since the 18^th century up to the present time making this the widely chosen type of light installed in hotels and luxurious homes around the world.
