Vintage chandeliers

Proper lighting is an important aspect of interior design. Its competent organization in the room will give a feeling of coziness and comfortable pastime at any time of the day, and can also visually change the space for the better. Vintage chandeliers can be a real highlight of your home. This article looks at how you can combine vintage and modern home furnishings.

Vintage style lighting elements are those that were created and were popular at the beginning of the 20th century. Nowadays, designers create a lot of semi-antique things that fit perfectly into the modern interior and look no worse than antiques. However, if you wish, you can find real examples of the fashion of that era, carefully preserved by collectors.

Products in this style are distinguished by a special ostentatious luxury. They had to demonstrate the status of their owner during endless balls and receptions. Also, rich people decorated not only halls with such chandeliers, but also ordinary rooms in order to attract additional attention and show off their wealth.

You should consider in more detail how the masters of those years worked:

1. Expensive materials were preferred, which had to last for more than a dozen years and look spectacular (to match their owners).
2. Often they used several materials, combined natural and expensive ones, and lampshades were embroidered with gold threads, expensive textiles and additionally decorated with crystal.

Currently, manufacturers offer many products in this style for different tastes of buyers. Most often, these are elegant products with many patterns. They can be both simple and laconic, and pretentious. Vintage items can be painted in one color or complemented with multi-colored inserts.

Those who care about the conservation of nature and prefer environmentally friendly materials can opt for exquisite woodwork. Pure crystal lamps are also suitable. In the production of such copies, there are no harmful substances, and the parts of the chandelier or lamps are not treated with harmful chemicals, which is also a plus.

There are many varieties of vintage style chandeliers. They differ in design and are designed for different interior styles. Interesting options that resonate in the hearts of many lovers of this style are given below.

• Forged. These chandeliers look very sophisticated. The whole structure is mounted with metal chains and fixed to the ceiling. It looks pretty impressive and interesting. Sconces can look like candlesticks with an abundance of candles. Sometimes there are unusual lampshades made of glass. These chandeliers are often copper or brown. This is due to the dark color of the material from which the products are made.

• Crystal stained glass chandeliers were widespread during the Soviet Union. Each wealthy family had crystal lamps as a symbol of prosperity and high position in the society of the owners. Many sought to save up and buy such a chandelier in order to appear in the eyes of others as wealthy people.Nowadays, there is a large selection of lighting fixtures in this style, but it should be noted that some options look tasteless. It is necessary to choose them very meticulously. Crystal chandeliers with the addition of colored elements look interesting; under the rays of artificial lighting, these models look most impressive.

• Plastic lamps are a common alternative today. Of course, you will hardly find original plastic products of the early 20th century. At that time, this material was not yet used, but in the second half of the century they began to make interesting versions of plastic chandeliers. For example, bright and blooming plafonds, which looked quite impressive and attracted the eyes of guests. Such details can look good and decorate different rooms, for example, a bedroom and an entrance hall.

• Wooden. This material is especially good at conveying the ancient atmosphere. The desired interior tone can be set even by such a simple interior element as a chandelier. This will be enough. This category of antiques still remains at the top of all vintage style items. Such a lamp will fit into any interior and will be combined with any material. Such a purchase will delight you for many years, naturally, with proper care of the product.

In the last century, wooden chandeliers were especially prized, and craftsmen tried to invest in them more than just custom-made work. The owners also took great care of such products. Since the work was made to order, it corresponded to the customer's preferences as much as possible.

Modern technologies make it possible to make more elegant and cheaper chandeliers with angels, which does not affect the quality of the product in any way. On the contrary, they can look better than real wood products. But it should be remembered that such models need special care, as well as a special temperature regime. Rooms such as a living room and a bedroom are ideal for installation.

Despite the fact that vintage pendants have a rather specific look, with the correct arrangement and clearly chosen colors of the interior items, stylized or antiques fit well into any ensemble. They can be a great addition and highlight in the room. Such items delight the eyes of the owners and do not go unnoticed by the guests.
