The 18th century was a transformative period for chandelier design. The innovative employment of cut glass emerged as a revolutionary way to intensify the illumination from candles and sunlight. This not only accentuated the grandeur of interiors but also positioned chandeliers as the crown jewel of lavish spaces.

Key figures in this transformative early Georgian era were British glass cutters like Maydwell and Windell. Their work in the 18th century set them apart from their contemporaries. Crafting ornate chandeliers for the affluent, their designs were characterised by a unique luminescent refractory pattern. This distinctive style made each chandelier not just a source of light but also a work of art, radiating elegance and opulence.
