The White House’s Famous Crystal Chandeliers


If you are interested in some of the famous Crystal Chandeliers in America, a good place to check out is the White House. Not only are the chandeliers gorgeous, but each also plays a small role in our country’s heritage.
The Blue Room holds the largest crystal chandelier in the White House, also contends as one of the largest in the world. Large meaning 79 feet by 36 feet. It takes two entire days to clean and polish this chandelier, due to its size and fragility. Every year it is carefully removed for the Christmas season to make room for a very large Christmas tree.
In the East Room, the White House’s biggest room, we find three lovely Bohemian style chandeliers. These bring grandeur to the room, which serves as a ballroom, conference room, and general function room. Presently the crystal chandeliers weigh in at 1200lbs. Twice they have been taken down and reduced in size. All three of them are made up of 6000 pieces.
While we appreciate the splendor of these magnificent crystal chandeliers, we are pretty happy that the average household has more functional chandelier options. Browse americanlightingnetwork.com for a selection of beautiful, modern, elegant, functional and affordable crystal chandeliers.
