How Do You Buy An Antique Chandelier?
Antique chandeliers can add a tremendous amount to the ambiance and appearance of the room. Not only can antique chandeliers be beautiful, but the way they light the room can be beautiful as well. Read about antique chandeliers by getting books from the library on the subject or by going online. Books like “Lighting America: From Colonial Rushlights to Victorian Chandeliers” can help you become informed. Look in thrift shops for antique chandeliers. There you may be able to find not only an antique chandelier, but a bargain. Examine the chandelier carefully. Be wary of ones that are very shiny or “slim.” Antique chandeliers are often made of materials like bronze, crystal, and brass, and often have intricate carvings or designs. Check whether the chandelier had originally used gas, whale oil, kerosene or even electricity. Some antique chandeliers just used candles for illumination. Look to see if the chandelier had been retrofitted to be electric. Go to eBay to find antique chandeliers
