Light the Home in Vintage Style With Lead Crystal Chandelier Lighting
Lead crystal is often associated with the highest quality of glasses, vases, fruit bowls and other glass products for the home which are for both practical and decorative use. Lead crystal is also used in the production of high quality chandeliers, as you will see pictured on this page. (Pictures courtesy of Bellacor.)
Crystal is really a shortened term for lead crystal, so genuine crystal chandeliers will have lead crystal included in the design. Crystal is made from ordinary glass, with lead oxide being added at the molten glass stage. The lead content has the effect of making the glass easier to cut, but, critically for lighting, the refraction properties of the glass improve with the lead oxide added.
The three lead crystal chandeliers shown here are all in beautiful vintage designs which would grace any home with the space, and the interior decor to match. The top picture is of a Paris 15 light chandelier, a supremely elegant chandelier for a large room with high ceiling, and elegant furnishings.
The second picture shows a 12 light crystal chandelier with a glass pineapple motive, one of a range of pineapple chandeliers from Bellacor's impressive collection of 10000 plus chandeliers. The final picture is of a simpler regency style chandelier, made from pewter and 24% lead crystal.
