Wrought Iron Crystal Chandelier



Not many people would think something as delicate as a crystal chandelier would have a wrought iron frame.  However, wrought iron crystalchandeliers blend elegance and rustic charm into a uniquely appealing piece of interior lighting.  The combination of iron and crystal lends itself to both formal and casual settings.

The black wrought iron is a stark contrast to the delicate crystals that adorn the chandelier.  Depending on the number of crystals on the chandelier, the wrought iron may be more or less prominent.  Painting the wrought iron a lighter color can help conceal it.  Chandeliers with few crystals and more exposed wrought iron are better suited for more casual settings.  Chandeliers with many crystals and little exposed wrought iron are perfect for elegant, formal settings.

The strength of the wrought iron makes it an ideal material for the frame of a heavy chandelier adorned with many crystals.  The iron can be manipulated into a decorative element of the chandelier, or it can be completely concealed with crystals.  There are many styles of wrought iron crystal chandeliers to choose from, so finding one with the right blend of iron and crystals for your space is easy.  Enjoy the drama of a crystal chandelier with the strength of iron for a unique piece of functional art.
