The Origin of Wrought Iron Chandeliers

by

Chandeliers made their first appearance in the 14th century and were solely made of wood. The name itself is derived from the French word chandelle referring to a light fixture with branch supports hanging from a ceiling. Early chandeliers were formed from two beams in the shape of a cross with spikes embedded to hold each candle. This light source was commonly found in monasteries and wealthy castles. Candles were quite expensive and often rationed until the black of night. Only the rich could afford such a luxury. To maximize the effect of lighting, chandeliers were often placed near mirrors to increase the reflection. Shiny furnishings from this era have been discovered that were also utilized for this purpose.

Wrought Iron Plant Hangers

The rustic artistry of wrought iron plant hangers is a great way to express your style and add that extra touch of class to your hanging foliage. Most wrought iron plant hangers have an artful arch which attaches to either a wall or to a post and is used to suspend hanging baskets or pots filled with lush leaves or heavy blooms. But some wrought iron plant hangers are simpler, designed with an understated iron clamp to display clay pots creatively indoors or outside on fences.

I love my wrought iron garden stakes. They are a constant in the ever changing tides of color that ebb and flow through the flower beds that frame my back yard. When song birds first whisper and then crescendo into a orchestra’s worth of counterpointed warbles and spring emerges as if conjured up with a melodic incantation by those winged magicians, my wrought iron garden stakes stand tall, ready to greet the first bulb plants willing to brave the cold and daring enough to splash color on drab winter beds.

Additionally, they are a great choice for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, wrought iron always offers a stylish edge to any room.
