Crystal: Amplifying Candlelight

A crystal chandelier. It consists of dozens of curved candle arms, gilded or silver-plated, each ending in a candle or candle-shaped lamp; hundreds of cut crystals of varying sizes are suspended between the arms, layered one upon another. Light refracts through the crystals, scattering small colored dots on the ceiling and walls. The entire chandelier hangs in the exact center of the room. Avoid: using modern simplified crystal lamps, having too few crystals, using plastic imitation crystals, placing the lamp off-center in the room.

一盞水晶枝形吊燈。它由數十根貼金或鍍銀的彎曲燭臂組成,每一根末端是一支蠟燭或燭形燈;燭臂之間垂掛著數百片切割的水晶,大小不一,層層疊疊。光透過水晶折射成彩色的小點灑在天花與牆上。整盞燈懸在房間的正中央。避免:使用現代簡化的水晶燈、讓水晶的數量太少、使用塑膠仿水晶、把燈的位置偏離房間中心。
