A crystal chandelier is a decorative lighting fixture that hangs from the ceiling, often featuring an intricate design made of glass or crystal. These chandeliers are known for their ability to refract light, creating a sparkling effect that enhances the ambiance of a room. They come in various styles, sizes, and shapes, making them suitable for different interior designs. Typically, crystal chandeliers are used in formal settings such as dining rooms, ballrooms, and entryways. They can be powered by electric bulbs or candles, and their elegance often symbolizes luxury and sophistication. Many chandeliers also incorporate prisms to further enhance their visual appeal.
