The value of the vintage crown is not only in its decorative quality and aesthetic meaning but also as a symbol of status and aristocracy. The detailed and complex chandeliers were developed during 18^th and 19^th century often do not light up a room: they are both ornate contact points in a room, as well as a reflection of the owner’s social status.

Buy from a professional

If you decide to buy a vintage crown, there are a few points to keep in mind. First of all, do your research and find a professional vintage chandelier outlet. It is important that you buy from people who know enough about chandeliers, to recommend you the perfect chandelier depending on the dimensions of your room, especially the height. A common rule that is often quoted is that the chandelier should hang about 60 66 to 66 ″ from the floor level.

Take care of electrical components

The second consideration is the wiring. Vintage chandeliers usually have their wires on the outside of the arms. If the wires are worn or worn, it is best that you seek the help of an expert electrician, to reconnect the structure, to avoid electrical disasters and accidents.

Mounting luminaires

A third consideration is related to the installation of the chandelier in the ceiling. Usually there is an old lamp socket in the place where you want the chandelier to be hung from.

These are not absolutely necessary, but they definitely add a touch to the place. It is also a very aesthetically pleasing luminaire to cover the ugly hole left by the old lamp you removed.

It is often said that old is gold. Vintage crowns can give splendor and majestic grandeur to a room. It can mean the difference between a simply beautiful room and a breathtakingly elegant room.
