How do you decorate with a medieval chandelier?

When you’re decorating with a medieval chandelier, you’ll want to play up the effects of such a dramatic lighting piece by emphasizing dark woods and metals, as well as other baroque, detailed, and heavy pieces.

See if you can find decorative elements to place around your room that are made of cast iron or wrought iron, place a large oriental rug on the floor, and display carvings made of dark wood. Place an aged map on the wall, leave books lying around halfway open, and go for a castle-study vibe with your interior. It’s a good idea to leave a few blankets and cushions out, as well, to make the space feel approachable as well as carefully-designed.

What are medieval candle holders called?

There are several types of medieval candle holders, but the most popular ones were:

‘Tripod’: with an either triangular or circular tripod base
‘Looped sockets’: usually hexagonal, octagonal, or—rarely—cylindrical but always with some kind of looped aperture or perforation
‘Bunsen burner type’: with straight sides, a narrow stem, and a slightly wider unperforated socket

You can now find medieval chandeliers that include candle holders in any of these styles.
