Description
This is the first book to deal comprehensively with this subject. The range covered extends from the first use of glass for lighting in the late 17th through the end of the 19th century. It examines the evolution of chandelier design and technique, hanging attribution and dating, and illustrates over 150 examples.
Pick up the illustrated guidebook to any English country house open to the public and any chandelier is likely to be wrongly identified. The author, an advisor for the National Trust, corrects many of these mis-attributions and deals chronologically with advances in style and technique as they evolved.
