The origin of chandeliers (chandeliers, crystal lamps, glass lamps, ceiling lights) goes back to the 5th century AD. They were reserved exclusively for large churches and representative halls, such as a salon in the Dolmabahçe Palace. With the development of glass production in the 18th century and industrialization, chandeliers first found their way into the chambers of the nobility and the rich, and now this path leads to you. Belle Arti Furniture & Accessories has made it its mission to equip every room with such beautiful chandeliers as once adorned and decorated palaces. They give every room its own charm and often become the center of attention. Why dream of palaces and castles when you can create your own palace or even castle.

If you think the same, then you've come to the right place! Our constantly growing range includes chandeliers from a wide variety of eras, such as Biedermeier, Wilhelminian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and even the 1970s. The only hurdle is choosing the right chandelier. There are various criteria to consider here. Therefore, you should first consider the following points.

• Size of the room

The diameter of the chandelier should increase proportionally to the size of the room. As a guideline, we can say from experience that for a 20 square meter room, a chandelier with a diameter of at least 40 cm would be the right choice.

• The ceiling height

The total height of the chandelier should be chosen so that the clearance height in the respective room is your height added to your arm length.

Rule of thumb:

Ceiling height – Chandelier total height = your height + your arm length The total height of the chandelier consists of the chandelier itself and the chain for attaching it to the ceiling.

• The desired lighting

Will the chandelier be the only source of light? First and foremost, you should ask yourself this question so that you can choose the right chandelier with the right number of flames and therefore the right light intensity. The hangings also play an important role in the selection, as different light refractions can be achieved by using lead crystal, amber or Murano glass.

• The right care

In order to maintain optimal aesthetics, it is very important to maintain your showpiece at regular intervals. This will give you the best possible shine and also significantly increase the lifespan of your chandelier.

The care so far:

Basic cleaning includes removing dust, for example using a dust brush. You can also use suitable attachments on your vacuum cleaner. This is followed by wet cleaning. To avoid limescale residue, we use our own special cleaner, which you can also purchase from us on request. But good results can also be achieved with distilled water. It is important that you unscrew the fuse until the chandelier is completely dry, as liquid is involved.

Care now:

To clean your chandelier, place a newspaper under it and spray our special cleaner onto the chandelier's crystals. The chandelier will clean itself and all you have to do afterwards is throw the newspaper away.
