Dandelion Chandelier
If there is one item in the home that spells out luxury, it is the chandelier. Whether the standard version or one of the many specialty versions such as the dandelion chandelier, this prominent feature in the home has been around since before the introduction of electrical power. Large, beautiful, and eye-catching, the chandelier is the ultimate in luxury lighting. Chandeliers have been around in one form or another for well over a millennium. While most associated with large estates and churches, they have been a part of many common homes for hundreds of years. Today’s modern designs which include the dandelion crystal orbit chandelier for example are part of a rich history.
Read MoreThe word “chandelier” comes from the French word, ‘Chandelle” which means candle. This is because the first chandeliers created were made to hold candles near the ceiling to provide light across the room. The earliest chandeliers were not meant to be luxury lighting items. The first designs were made from two beams of wood put together to form a cross. A spike was placed at the end of each beam to hold the candle in place. While impractical for small homes, the chandelier was perfect for the churches which featured large rooms that needed efficient lighting methods. The earliest known use of chandeliers was in the 9th century starting with the church but expanding to palaces that also featured large rooms. The reputation of the chandelier being a luxury lighting item was more out of practicality at first, but that soon changed as chandeliers became more elaborate in nature.
By the 15the century, the primitive wooden crosses were replaced by metal and the designs began to flourish. For the wealthy, it was not unusual to complex chandelier designs crafted from gold hanging from the ceiling. Over the next couple of centuries, chandeliers made their way into the homes of the working class. They may have been smaller than what was found in churches and palaces across Europe, but they were highly desired by many homeowners who wanted the beauty along with the practicality of a chandelier for their residence. By the 20th century, electricity had replaced candles as the light source. This opened up a wide range of designs that today has led to the development of the dandelion chandelier.

Thanks to advances in metal construction and the development of LEDs, these chandeliers are gaining considerable favor in homes that want to have a unique luxury lighting centerpiece for their homes.
Read MoreAs the name implies, these are chandeliers that are created in the shape of a dandelion just before its seeds are spread upon the wind. Unlike standard chandeliers which start their lights from the core section that is placed close to the ceiling, the dandelion chandelier resembles a ball. This means that those lights extend outward from the center with the hanging point being lower on the device itself. The result is a design in which the lights flow outwards from the center point in all directions, including upwards to the ceiling. Crafted from polished nickel, a crystal dandelion chandelier is a near perfect circle at 29” tall, 30” wide, and 30” in width. That slight imperfection is also found in nature as well which makes it look even more like a dandelion. The crystals themselves look like the seeds of the dandelion, but that is not the only visual effect. The overall design itself is close to that of a large snowflake. You can even imagine the chandelier appearing as a cluster of stars in the night sky. There are ten lights within the chandelier operating at 60W capacity. This means that you get plenty of light thanks to its location along with what bounces off the ceiling to properly illuminate even a large room. The polished nickel only adds to the appearance, making the chandelier a wondrous thing of beauty that augments the other furnishings in the room.
Why Choose a Dandelion Crystal Chandelier? There are good reasons why your home benefits from having a beautiful dandelion crystal or dandelion orbit chandelier dominating your dining room. They offer exceptional lighting thanks to their beautiful, natural design. But there is more to a dandelion chandelier than its history. Modern Design: What separates the dandelion design from the classic version of chandeliers is how the light emanates from the core, rather than hanging down from the ceiling. This distinctively modern approach creates a sense of style that fits modern design far better compared to a classic chandelier. If you look at the dining and living rooms of modern homes, the classic chandelier design would seem out of place. This is because it comes from another era. However, a dandelion orbit chandelier would fit right in providing the light that was needed in a design that complements the furnishings of the room. Practical: One overlooked aspect of most chandelier designs, including the dandelion chandeliers is their practicality. While a traditional overhead light source would create a harsher beam of light that disrupts the comfort and style of a room. The spread-out lights of a chandelier soften the illumination. Aided by the light bouncing off the ceiling, the result is a practical light source that is soft, creates a level of comfort, and quite practical whether you are dining, reading a book, or watching television. Affordable: In addition to being the ultimate in luxury lighting, the dandelion chandeliers are also priced to fit within your budget. This is without sacrifice to their overall quality as they provide an excellent source of light that beautifully complements a room. The dandelion crystal chandelier is a unique addition to the chandelier family. It represents a modern, yet earthy design that is quite attractive in any household. The light that emanates from the chandelier is bright enough to illuminate even a large room, yet soft enough to not create any glare. This is a combination of beauty, modern design, and elegance that works for any home.
