As homeowners we are always looking to make our home more beautiful and functional. The effect of lights on the look and feel of our homes is huge.Lights have replaced the sun as the primary source of lighting up the dwelling of modern man.This means that the lights or lamps we have must provide adequate lighting to allow us to carry on our daily chores like watching TV, studying, cooking without having a bad effect on the eyes. The night time is the only period in which we can all meet our neighbors and relatives.Thus lighting also has the added effect of decorating the home.

 

One of the most important aspects of home lighting is the light fixtures. When lamps are lit the shape of the chandelier decides how the light falls on the room, when lit up with its own light it has beauty of its own.Historically as well as now chandeliers are the most well known eye-catching lighting fixtures in use. Chandeliers have always been classified according to the materials used such as glass chandeliers, iron chandeliers, brass chandeliers.The designs have also changed from basic to ultra complex and back to elegant as the centuries has passed. The size of these had a large difference depending on requirements.Some had the minimum of two lamps while others had hundreds of lamps within them. Chandeliers as everything else in life range from that which can be offered by the common man to some which are only meant for billionaires.

 

In the past the chandelier was a symbol of status and prestige even more than it was a lighting fixture. All homes of any family that had a standing in society such as high officials, nobles and royals had elaborate chandeliers. There are so many new devices now adoring our homes that they have replaced the chandelier to a certain extent as indication of prestige.That does not mean they have reduced in their significance as part of a modern home interior design object.

 

This leads us to discuss one of the most influential and beautiful type of chandeliers that have been the front runner in glass chandeliers for centuries, Murano glass chandeliers. In around 1200 the glass making tradition of Murano Island started from which sprang the Murano glass chandeliers. It is at Murano glassmakers that produced some of the best glass products using techniques of glassmaking unique to them only. The Murano glass chandelier is no exception, it is widely known for the quality of the glass and the subtle craftsmanship that goes into their designs.
