when was chandelier invented
Originating from the French word âchandelle,â chandelier literally means âcandle holder,â and when the first appeared, that was about it. The first known chandeliers came about during the 14th century and were a simple design: two wood beams forming a cross with a spike at the end of each to hold a candle. Though they were not as ornate as future designs, the element and ideas of class still applied.
