Chandeliers
Chandeliers typically consist of a frame, often made of metal, that is hung from the ceiling and has multiple arms extending out from it. Each arm holds a candle or some other type of light source. Chandeliers are often ornate and colorful, making them a perfect statement piece for any room. They can be made from beautiful materials, such as crystal, gold, and more.
