A chandelier is a decorative lighting fixture that is mounted on the ceiling and hangs down via a chain or rod. It usually has multiple arms or branches that hold bulbs or candles, and is often adorned with crystals, glass, or other decorative elements.
Chandeliers are often used as a statement piece in grand rooms or entryways, but can also be used in smaller spaces to add a touch of elegance or drama. They come in a variety of styles, from traditional and ornate to modern and minimalist, and can be made from a range of materials including metal, glass, and crystal.
Historically, chandeliers were used in grand homes and palaces utilizing candles or oil lamps to provide a source of light before electricity was widely available.
