Classic wall sconce

Increasingly, in a modern living room can be found sconces in a classic style. This is due to the fact that the classic forms and features of lighting fixtures fit into many interior styles.

“Classic” in lighting was valued at all times, thanks to its universal and unchanging qualities.

These features are:

• Unique design;
• The majestic and solemn appearance of many devices in a classic style;
• Large size and the presence of many details in suspended chandeliers. At the same time there are no extra details. Each element is interconnected with each other and creates a general view of the lamp;
• Simplicity and aristocracy in the appearance of wall and table lamps;
• The use of expensive material or quality, well imitating it.As a rule, for classic chandeliers crystal, bronze, glass is used;
• Calm, soft tones. In this style, new-fashioned acidic and “flashy” colors are out of place. Preference is given to black and white, milk, beige, gray colors;
• Wide range. Therefore, each house will find its own unique chandelier.

These features, combined with modern technology, create a new style of lighting — neoclassicism, which is becoming increasingly popular. Neoclassicism can be used in modern interiors of loft style, hi-tech, modern, and at the same time it will organically look both in classic interior and in eco style.

The service life and appearance of lighting fixtures depends largely on the material used.

In the classical style of lighting devices, the following are mainly used:

• glass;
• metal;
• crystal;
• a rock;
• tree;
• bronze.

In the manufacture of classic chandeliers glass is often used, but not simple.Most often this is Murano glass, which is famous for its ancient manufacturing technology and unusual color. Multicolored Murano glasses are obtained due to natural minerals and metals, therefore this material is considered to be elite. Classic chandeliers can combine opaque, colored and clear glass. Such wall lamps fill the bathroom or bedroom with a unique atmosphere.

Metal allows you to create classic lamps with a variety of design and shape. Forged items will immediately attract attention, so wall, ceiling chandeliers with this design are most suitable for the living room.

The advantage of metallic bases and inserts of lighting devices is durability and good compatibility with other materials. So, the metal will look organic with glass or wood. An “air” glass ceiling on a wrought base will be a very original solution. Metal inserts on a wooden base will give the lamp strength and elegance. It is worth remembering that in the manufacture of forged products of acute angles should be a minimum.Preference is given to smooth lines, rounded curls and bends.

Crystal is one of the features of the classics. Only such material can convey the wealth and nobility of the interior. Crystal elements with precious stones give the room a special chic and light. Therefore, they are better placed in the dining room, living room or bedroom. Crystal are decorated and spotlights, and not just ceiling or wall sconces.

The basis for lighting in the classics often serves as a natural stone (marble, malachite, granite, onyx). This adds to the durability of the device and values, as over time it can become a real antiques. Only the price of such a product is much higher, but over time it can be a good investment.

Stone foundation gives the interior austerity, and at the same time nobility. Therefore, they will harmoniously fit into the living room, office of the apartment, and in the interior of a cafe or restaurant.

Wooden details give the classic chandelier even more mysterious, chic. At the same time, it looks very organic in the interior of an apartment of any style. Mostly wooden parts are made, inserts, the basis of the lamp.It is supplemented with crystal, glass or metal.

The lamp from bronze is the embodiment of grace, grace and prosperity. Previously, these lamps decorated the halls of palaces, and today they can be found in a mansion, and a small apartment. These lamps are valued for durability, presentable appearance and affordability. Bronze is an elastic material, so it is easy to make various shapes and lines from it. The gloss of the metal is often confused with the golden glow, and its color does not tarnish and does not lose its original appearance.

Gold, silver and bronze plating is a frequent technique in the manufacture of classical chandeliers. This coating is used not only for the base, but also for the decoration of ceiling lamps and their painting. This design gives the lamp nobility and a rich look.

In the classical genre, lighting devices have several types, which differ in shape and design:

• ceiling;
• carob;
• wall mounted;
• desktop;
• the street.

Ceiling chandeliers of impressive size with several levels are considered the basis of classic design.Suspended chandelier, as a rule, is decorated with crystal or glass parts made in the form of a drop, diamond, oval. The brilliance of this material gives the room a special solemnity, so these chandeliers are placed in the living room, a hall with high ceilings.

You can also find a chandelier with lamps in the form of candles. The frame of the device can be forged or wooden, on which are placed such unusual lamps. These works well complement the interior of the living room or kitchen.

To date, carobed chandeliers can also be found with several tiers. Their curved appearance, smooth lines and elongated lamps give the room a cosiness and calm atmosphere. Horns can be bronze or gold plating, and the ceiling can be made of transparent or frosted glass. Such a lamp would be appropriate to install in the bedroom or living room.

The wall view of the fixtures is not limited to strict frames. This type has a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Ceiling lamps can be either from stained glass or crystal. Such lamps help to zone a room, therefore they are suitable for a studio apartment.They are also a functional option in the bedroom above the bed.

Cabinet or working area in the living room is impossible without table lamps. Classic appliances on the table have a solid base of stone or metal and a fabric shade. It can still be replaced by a frosted glass ceiling.

To illuminate the local area are used street lamps. As a rule, they are made in the form of a lantern from a forged metal pillar and a glass ceiling. He, in turn, can have both correct and unusual (in the form of a flashlight) form.
