Casual Chandeliers – There's Nothing Casual About Them

The term chandeliers itself speaks volume of grandness and elegance, so what could casual chandeliers possibly turn out to be? Well, Kichler Lighting chandeliers will surely put that question to rest with their interesting collection.

In general, these chandeliers are of relatively simpler designs and are significantly smaller in size than traditional chandeliers. For instance, the casual chandelier from the Crystal Fountain family consists of 16 lead crystal (24%) shades distributed over four tiers, but spans just a little over three feet across. Also, the size does not speak for its price as one of these costs well over $1600. However at a tenth of that price, buyers can easily get a three-light Curves chandelier at Kichler Lighting. This 20 inch wide chandelier is also made of nickel like the Crystal Fountain but instead satin etched glass shades are used with higher watt release bulbs, making it more suitable as a lighting source.

Quoizel Lighting is also a provider of interesting casual chandelier lines as evident from their Pineapple Family. Surprisingly, there is a pineapple design embedded within the stem piece in the form of a lead crystal replica of the tropical fruit. This brass chandelier is only 17 inches across and has only three lights in the form of candelabra with crystal wax pans.

Another casual design offered by Quoizel Lighting is a beautiful six light chandelier of Gold Coast Finish and Acid etched glass shades. The stem piece is divided into a top smaller one and a larger more intricately formed bottom one. Patterns on the surface of both parts of the stem section depict skilled showmanship at play during the sculpting of this work of art. Finally, the greatest perk is that buyers can easily get this for less than $400 each.
