Ecclesiastical Chandeliers

The use of ecclesiastical chandeliers began during the Byzantine period with the name "polycandy" and their original source of light was candles. Later, during the Middle Ages, chandeliers were used in the Churches, the synagogues and the houses of the aristocrats.

These large metal structures still decorate the interior of the Holy Temples while with their multiple lights give abundant lighting.

In our collection you will find ecclesiastical chandeliers in Byzantine and Mount Athos designs made by our experienced craftsmen. All chandeliers are gilded and varnished with a special technique so that they are not damaged. They are decorated either with crystals or with a big metallic ring bearing the icons of Saints.
