A chandelier is an ornate, decorative lighting fixture typically suspended from the ceiling. It is designed to provide ambient or task lighting while adding a touch of elegance and luxury to a space. Chandeliers can be found in various styles, ranging from classic to modern, and are often made from materials such as crystal, glass, metal, or wood.

Key features of a chandelier include:

• Multiple Arms: Most chandeliers feature multiple arms or branches that hold light bulbs, often arranged in a symmetrical or tiered manner.
• Light Sources: Chandeliers may contain incandescent, LED, or candle-style bulbs, and can have several bulbs depending on their size.
• Decorative Elements: Many chandeliers include decorative elements such as crystals, glass beads, or prisms that reflect and refract light, creating a sparkling effect. They may also include intricate metalwork or other artistic features.
• Suspension: Chandeliers are often suspended by a chain, cord, or rod, with the height of the suspension adjustable for different ceiling heights.
• Size and Design: They come in a wide range of sizes, from smaller fixtures for intimate spaces to grand, multi-tiered designs for large rooms like ballrooms or entryways.

Chandeliers are popular in areas such as dining rooms, foyers, and grand halls, often used to create a focal point or highlight the luxury of a room’s design.
