Summary

This book is the first to deal comprehensively with its subject. The range covered extends from the first use of glass for lighting in the late 17th century until nearly the end of the 19th century. It explains the evolution of chandelier design and manufacturing technique, hanging, attribution and dating, concentrating on the few documented examples known. It is fully illustrated with up to 150 examples.
