Colored Chandeliers

Chandeliers have been made with wrought iron for centuries. You can see many enormous examples of wrought iron chandeliers in European palaces, mansions and churches. These intricate beauties can be truly awesome to see in person.

A wrought iron chandelier can be a beautiful addition to any room in your own house. Most styles are more traditional candle chandeliers ; however, you can find many lovely contemporary pieces. Colors range from a dark bronze to jet black. More traditional styles typically have a rustic look to them, but can fit right in with a modern room without clashing.

When shopping for a wrought iron chandelier, remember to take into considering the weight of the fixture. Wrought iron is much heavier and may very well require installation of a new electrical box in the ceiling, with small support bracket, to handle the added weight.

Wrought iron is easy to care for and involves very light maintenance. Weekly dusting and occasional cleaning with a damp cloth soaked in mild detergent will keep it looking new. Be sure to keep it out of areas where it may be exposed to dampness as iron will begin to rust very quickly.

La Parra is a good example of what could be a called a “modern rustic” look. They carry candle chandeliers with a heavy chain link that has a very medieval type of feel to it. The shades are tinted slightly and look like large cylindrical candles. The warm glow of the amber shades softens the heavier look of the chandelier. They make for a wonderful mix of style and color.

Designers Fountain makes more traditionally styled wrought iron. Their dining room and foyer chandeliers have ornate scrolling and glass crystals. The crystals shimmer and sparkle and add a hint of sophistication.

Designers Fountain also make kitchen chandeliers with bell shaped glass shades. Their simplistic design gives a light touch of class to both small and larger kitchens.

Franklin Ironworks offers mission style, wrought iron chandeliers. These are lovely chandeliers that come with amber shades to provide a warm inviting glow to the room of your choice.
