Exotic, Decorative Monkey Chandeliers

Monkey chandeliers are a rare sight to behold in the chandelier world. These chandeliers are more well-known as a room décor rather than a source of lighting. There are not many around, making them exotic. Monkey chandeliers are mostly made of wood, ceramic or resin, with an obvious characteristic which are the monkey figurines. Usually placed in the middle of the stem-piece, these monkey figurines give these chandeliers a cheeky look, a devious style equivalent to the behavior of little children. Thus, it comes to no surprise that these are a favorite in room décor for children. Lighting fixtures may come as shades which complement a tropical theme or candelabras for the rare “a pirate’s monkey” feel.

Most are hand-carved, adding uniqueness to this already rare treasure. You might find that the monkey figurine is never available without a tropical theme. Big-leafed coconut or palm trees are always at the center of the stem piece, like a clinging site for these primates which looks almost like they are foraging for food around the chandelier island that they are in.

However, monkey type chandeliers made of wood have an insidious problem of surplus heat build-up. That is why bulbs used in these chandeliers are rarely above 40 watts. If you wish to go brighter, you can always find one of ceramic or resin origin like those available from Bellacor. The more elegant or upscale resin monkey chandeliers come with a tropical bronze finish with antique gold as highlights. The shades are made of silk and these chandeliers come with six candelabra bulbs of 60 watts each. Another type of playful ceramic monkey chandelier consists of shades of oasis green with a cream finish, a color combination which accentuates the lights coming from its five bulbs.
