Wrought Iron Chandelier Construction Overview
A wrought iron chandelier is a wonderfully affordable alternative to a traditional glass or crystal chandelier. They are best suited for rustic style applications such as in southwest adobe themed structures or western distressed wood plank interiors. Log cabins are another great placement for this type of artistic lighting. It would seem there are very few design motifs where one of these highly artistic and decorative lighting alternatives can’t fit in perfectly.
Although the average person might think of wrought iron chandeliers as a ceiling bound manifestation of the traditional wrought iron fence work you see in gates, fences and sometimes furniture, the choices afforded by these types of lighting fixtures are actually quite broad. There are a number of different themes within this family of lighting fixtures; Mexican, western, southwestern, vintage, modern, even Victorian and deco.
Lighting treatments are seemingly limited only by the creativity of the designer. The most common style is Mexican which has a number of different sub types. The basic Mexican style is a very traditional scroll motif. The scrolls are usually mandrel bent out of square, flat or round stock bars into shapes which resemble the letter “S”. More often than not, these scrolls radiate out from a small central ring on the top of the structure.
