About Bohemian Crystal Chandeliers
Bohemian Classic Chandelier Collection. Under the name "Bohemian chandeliers," it is impossible to imagine nothing more characteristic than crystal machine-cut chandeliers. Their all-crystal appearance, with added non-glass materials, makes them ideal representatives of the traditional Bohemian classic. The crystal beauty is then enhanced by mouth-blown, cut components, or hand-cut chandelier trimmings used. It is just these elements that rank these fixtures among "jewels" illuminating luxurious interiors. Classic Bohemian crystal is known throughout the world for its quality and brilliance. Its history stretches back to the 16th century. Lavishly hand-cut, blown glass parts prevail on these fixtures. To highlight its features, the crystal is sometimes decorated with golden paint. The sumptuous and impressive appearance of crystal jewels is complemented with the trimmings of various shapes and sizes. Brilliance, purity, and perfect light diffusion together with more than 30% lead content are the outstanding properties of our Premium trimmings. Another one of many options available is trimmings of lead-free glass, so typical for traditional manufacturing in Bohemia.
The tradition of production, luxurious appearance, and classical morphology are the common denominator of all these chandeliers. To manufacture these, almost 90 percent is hand-completed: mouth-blowing, cutting, and other techniques applied when working glass and metals. Machine-cut crystal chandelier trimmings and artistically chased metal parts provide a stamp of luxury. Devotees of these lighting fixtures come mostly from the circles of the lovers of magnificent designs created in the style of the timeless classic.
Some chandeliers in this collection are embellished with glass crystal bells. Bells have a rich history with all the Slavonic nations, especially in the Czech Republic. Historically in certain regions of Europe crystal bell adornments were believed to bring prosperity and fortune to the household. Crystal bells were also used for the distillation of supernatural forces and adverse events.
Every component passes thorough, strict internal Quality Control processes — highest quality European production with certified standards.
Some of the sconces from this collection are available in 3 levels of quality crystal:
Premium crystal. A sumptuous type of chandelier trimmings. The fire of the rainbow spectrum, brilliance, limpidity, glitter and perfect scattering and dispersion of light - these are their main features resulting from precise cutting using electronically controlled machines, but also from a high-quality crystal containing more than 30% of lead. Traditional mastery and the revealed mystery of the glass substance blend together with modern technologies and first-rate design in each of these unique pieces. Chandeliers dressed with these trimmings of exceptional beauty will lend an air of grandeur to the ambiance even of the most prestigious interiors.
Select crystal (or standard). Hand cut or partly machine cut chandelier trimmings. Inspired by rich glass-making tradition as well as modern trends, these crystals are characterized by distinct fire, rainbow sparkle, and purity of shape. Each piece is checked for accuracy of cut, and its high quality is guaranteed. They will satisfy even the most discriminating customers. Chandelier trimmings of the Select type offer an opportunity to those searching for quality at a great value.
Traditional crystal. Chandelier trimmings cut from lead-free glass are typical of the traditional production in Bohemia stretching back to the former half of the 18th century. Thanks to their look based on tradition and history, they satisfy even the most discriminating customers. Lighting fixtures dressed with these trimmings are suitable, especially for period interiors. On the other hand, they create an exciting counterpoint to austere modern interiors. These trimmings are often used in the production of replicas of historical lighting fixtures.
