Light and graphic, this light rattan suspension brings a contemporary touch with a soft feel. Its natural weaving and compact format make it an ideal rattan pendant to accentuate an entryway, hallway, or dining nook without weighing down the space. Rattan diffuses a warm light and creates a lovely play of shadows on the ceiling, instantly warming up the room. Sourced from antique markets, it pairs well with both a wooden table and more understated materials, creating a simple and refined ambiance. Placed above a console with a stoneware vase or a small round table, it adds a decor full of delicacy. Height: 20 cm Diameter: 18 cm A little history of the chandelier The chandelier descends from the heavy "crowns of light" made of wrought iron, suspended in the naves to illuminate assemblies. Its true revolution occurred in the 17th century with the advent of crystal: the cut facets allowed the flame of candles to multiply their brilliance through refraction, transforming a precarious glow into a shimmering blaze. In Versailles, this object became a tool of political power so codified that the number of its crystals directly displayed the owner's social rank and wealth in the presence of the King. Becoming the nerve center of reception salons, it has traversed eras as the ultimate symbol of opulence, transitioning from solid bronze to the airy architectures of Murano.
