Design Tips:
- When hanging a chandelier or pendant light that is heavy make sure that the fixture is properly supported and attached to the ceiling. Additional supports may need to be installed in the ceiling to support the weight of the chandelier.
- Center the chandelier over the table or in the center of the foyer or room. If the junction box is not centered, hire a licensed electrician to move it.
- A chandelier should not be mounted flush to the ceiling. When measuring take into account length of chain or the stem in the final height from both the ceiling and the floor or table.
Wrought iron chandeliers have a hand crafted feeling that dates back to the time when iron was shaped and forged by iron smiths. These chandeliers often have a central ring of lights suspended from a crown. Other wrought iron chandelier forms include a central stem with straight or curved arms. Wrought iron refers to the metal material of these chandeliers but is also synonymous with the style.
Styles
Wrought iron chandeliers tend to be Rustic or Mediterranean in style. The simple forms and shapes, lack of ornate detail and deep, dark color of wrought iron chandeliers lends themselves to country and rustic interiors. Tuscan, Spanish, Moroccan and other Mediterranean style homes and interiors are the perfect home for wrought iron chandeliers. Rustic chandeliers work in mountain and lodge style interiors and homes.
Applications
Wrought iron chandeliers can be found in Mediterranean style homes, hotels and restaurants. Wrought iron lighting is an ideal choice for Spanish Colonial interiors or anywhere where hand-crafted, handmade craftsmanship is appreciated. Rustic and country kitchens featuring wrought iron lighting and chandeliers are warm and inviting spaces.
