Baroque

The very first crystal chandeliers were constructed under the artistic era of the baroque, under the first half of the 18th century.

At this time everything should be dramatized and romanticized. Buildings and interiors were pompous and flaunting. The lines were soft and swelling.

The baroque chandeliers generally contain a great amount of glass and are decorated with prisms such as almonds, pendeloques, flowers and stars. At the bottom there is a cut ball of glass.
