The Rustic Grace of a Metal Candle Chandelier

Lofted at an appropriate height over a dining or living area, the candle chandelier grants a feeling of calm, calling to mind an earlier age. Gentle light flickers from above, casting a warm glow over the proceedings below. It's a happy feeling. It harkens back to an earlier, simpler time.

Candles of various colors and shapes are available to compliment the surroundings in a way that light bulbs never will. A beautiful candle chandelier becomes a focal point for any room, proving a source of fascination for guests at any event.


Also, scented candles can be used for an extra dimension of atmosphere and warm, welcoming hospitality. Cinnamon or vanilla scent can add an ambiance that guests might not even recognize at first. The aroma combines with the scent of the foods for the gathering, creating a complex scent-scape that's unforgettable.

Perhaps the best place for a candle chandelier is in an open-air setting. It can become the focal point of a patio or garden veranda. It draws eyes upwards, adding a sense of increased space to any enclosed area.

If drip candles are used, the melted wax gradually accumulates on the arms of the chandelier. This adds yet more rustic flavor. The cooled wax can easily be removed as needed. However, it is recommended that a catch-pan or other cover be used on the floor or furniture beneath the chandelier if drip candles are used. It's also wise to advise guests - and especially children - of the possible hot wax falling from on-high.

Combined with the complimentary decor, a large rustic candle chandelier sets a tone of peace and simple elegance. Candle chandeliers are available in various styles and colors to suit any decorating style. Installing the chandelier on a pulley enables quick lighting and extinguishing of the flames and replacement of the candles.

Some find solace in watching waves or trees gently blowing in the wind. The experience of gazing at a lovely metal candle chandelier imparts a similar sensation. It's the feeling of simple wholeness that tells one "This is home."
