For an object that is considered the epitome of lighting decor, a chandelier did not have a very glamorous beginning. Back in the 15th century, when resources were scarce, a chandelier was simply a cross made of two wooden beams with candles fixed onto it. These were lit and then hoisted by a rope to illuminate a room, and that too only on special occasions. From this humble start, a chandelier soon acquired glass and crystal, metal and gilded wood, and became more than a means to light up a large room – it became the status symbol and object of desire that we know it to be today.
Chandeliers are an attractive lighting option, and basic installation using strong, existing ceiling support should take an hour or so. Be sure to take the extra time to install an appropriate support as described below if your chandelier is heavier than your previous light fixture. An assistant is recommended to make this process faster and easier. The balance of the chandelier should be even and the hook should carry the weight and should not tilt on one side.
