Chandelier: its function is to fragment the light

A French crystal lamp. The chandelier's frame is made of slender gilded curved arms, from which cut crystal pendants hang, with light bulbs positioned upwards to mimic candles; two paired crystal wall sconces provide supplementary lighting. The function of the crystal is to refract and scatter light, not to provide brightness. Avoid: using modern-style crystal lamps, making the lamp too large to fill the ceiling, using cool white light sources, making the chandelier the only light in the room.

一盞水晶的法式燈具。吊燈的骨架是鍍金的細曲臂,上面掛著切割過的水晶墜,燈泡的位置模仿蠟燭朝上;牆上兩盞成對的水晶壁燈補光。水晶的功能是把光切碎再散開,不是為了亮。避免:使用現代造型的水晶燈、把燈做得過大佔滿天花、使用冷白的光源、讓吊燈是房間裡唯一的光。
