The History of the Chandelier

A lot of folks assume that the chandelier has been with us since the beginning. That the pharaohs of ancient Egypt dined beneath enormous chandeliers while they watched the pyramids being built. But in truth the chandelier, while not exactly modern, can trace its origins no further back than medieval times when 2 pieces of wood forming an X were hung from the ceilings of churches with candles at each end of the X. Indeed the word "chandelier" is French for "candle holder."

Even though these wooden chandeliers were extremely simple, they were still considered a luxury due to the cost of high-quality candles. As such, for several centuries the only places you were likely to see a chandelier was in the churches and palaces of the day. Toward the end of this period, improvements in design and materials allowed aristocrats to indulge themselves when it came to chandelier construction. Crystal, various metals and glass all began to find their way into chandeliers. And by the 18th-century chandelier design had become an artform unto itself.

Subsequent advances in production techniques began to bring down the cost of the chandelier and by the time of the American Revolution they were a common fixture (so to speak) in the homes of the middle class both in Europe and the United States. Eventually candles gave way to gas and then electricity, culminating in the chandelier as we know it today.

Over the centuries, different cultures each contributed their own take on the venerable chandelier. And, of course, it was only natural that the part of the world now known as Turkey, which has long nurtured one of the most active, celebrated and enduring handicraft traditions on earth, would produce its own version of the chandelier.

During the late Byzantine Empire and throughout the heyday of the Ottoman Empire the mosaic chandelier was a common sight in coffee houses, libraries and homes of the period. A tradition that continues to this day. The Turkish mosaic chandeliers we offer at Paykoc are a shining example of the artform at its absolute best.
