Word origin
The word 'chandelier' originated from the French word 'chandelle', which means candle. In the past, chandeliers were candle holders used to illuminate rooms. Over time, chandeliers evolved into decorative lighting fixtures that use electricity. They became popular in the 18th century during the Rococo period, known for their ornate and extravagant designs.
