Elite chandeliers

A beautiful and cozy house is made not so much by furniture or luxurious repairs as by details. No self-respecting interior designer can argue with this statement. All the details of the interior together create a certain style, an impressive and unique picture. Elite lamps add a special color to this picture.

The appearance of the house directly depends on the type of lighting chosen. Different luminaires are suitable for different purposes. You can't hang a cheap Chinese fake in a room with chic furnishings. So you ruin the whole look of the room and reduce all your expenses for a rich interior to zero. Despite the fact that now you can buy inexpensive copies of elite chandeliers, a professional will distinguish an elite product from an economical one.

When choosing luminaires, you need to take into account the material from which they are made. If the chandeliers are made of plastic, aluminum or steel, then these are economy class items. Decorating your chic home with these products is unlikely to be appropriate. In the manufacture of elite chandeliers, elegant Swarovski crystal, delightful Murano glass, gold, bronze, brass, precious stones, and forging are used.

Another distinguishing feature of luxury chandeliers is the place of their production. Excellent products are made in Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain. Chandeliers made in the Czech Republic are often offered, but at present their production is more focused on the middle class buyer.

A good chandelier cannot be cheap. If the product costs a small price, you need to think about what you want to buy: a chic chandelier or a low-quality fake. Below you will find out what makes up the cost of the lamp.

Many mid-range fixtures from European brands are now produced in China. Among them there are high-quality products, but they cannot be compared with the products of leading German or Italian manufacturers. European factories were founded many years ago, have great traditions, their products are compared to works of art. Currently, new technologies are widely used at such factories, which makes their products even better.

Nowadays, two lines in the design of lighting devices are relevant: classic and modern style. Classic chandeliers often have Baroque or Art Deco details - crystal pendants, wrought gilded bases, silk fabric lampshades and iridescent rhinestones. In a modern style, the design is very minimalistic or abstract. The highest quality materials are used here - twisted metal threads, sparkling steel, various glass, diode lamps.

Each country has its own production characteristics. For example, in Germany, forged products are a priority, in Spain crystal chandeliers are held in high esteem, in Austria - vintage-style products, in Italy they prefer elegant glass and textile products.

Well-known chandelier manufacturers are:

• Faustig Is a company from Germany that has been producing lamps at its family business for half a century. Her products with crystals are striking in their splendor. Manufactured products are of the highest quality, aesthetically pleasing, durable;

Prices differ for the following factors:

• by type - elite chandeliers are much more expensive than other lighting fixtures: floor lamps, wall sconces, table lamps;
• by the number of decorative additions - the number of expensive inclusions and jewelry made of precious and semi-precious stones, crystal, Murano glass will be in direct proportion to the cost;
• by the size of the product, the price does not vary directly, however, huge chandeliers for large rooms are much more expensive than products intended for small living rooms;
• in design - the long-term experience of a team of specialists is highly valued. To create a complex original, modern equipment is required, which also affects the price;
• by material - the price of a chandelier rises when using gilding, natural stone and forged parts.

For example, a meter-diameter chandelier from the Bejorama factory (Spain), made of gilding and decorated with Bohemian crystal, will cost about 100 thousand rubles, and the product of Italian masters of the Montart company, made with an unimaginable invention, will cost 200 thousand.

After choosing a suitable style, taking into account the required level of illumination and, in accordance with this, determining the number of lamps when buying, you need to consider the following points:

• ask the seller for a certificate for the product to be sure that the purchased chandelier matches the one you have chosen on the website;
