The word chandelier is derived from the French word Chandelabre, derived from the Latin Candela meaning candle. Originally appearing in medieval Europe chandeliers originally used candles afficed to a suspended wooden cross. During the 15th century they became both increasingly popular and increasingly decorative, becoming based on crowns or ring designs within the homes of the upper classes. With developments in glassmaking in the 18th century lead crystal became cheaper to produce and created the gorgeous light scattering chandeliers which we lovingly bring into your home today.

Whilst we have indulged in many modern designs Sweetpea and Willow still have a gorgeous range of chandeliers or a ballroom calibre for the staunch traditionalist. If you are fortunate enough to have very high ceilings of a double height entrance hall or landing why not invest in one of our stunning crystal drop chandeliers which feature antiqued brass frames coupled with wonderful crystal droplets dripping from every curve. Moving away from more traditional statuesque choices, Sweetpea and Willow also have a range of Art Deco Style Globe Chandeliers which are a geometric design feature created from beaded wire frames suspending small crystals.

Choose from a multitude of shapes including symmetrical globes in Brass and Pewter, Acorn shapes or the stunning Stately Empire with its cascading drop shape. For something more understated Sweetpea and willow have a wide range of chandeliers such as the India's Irresistible Chandelier which are suitable for a less opulent style and are incredibly well suited to the bedroom or dining room. Shop Sweetpea and Willow chandeliers with confidence that you will be getting a lighting fixture of the utmost quality and style. Please be aware that you will need a qualified electrician to fit these pieces as it is important that all wiring is safe and secure.
