Availability:
Due to the staggering variety of crystal used over the years, in size, crystal quality, lead content, pattern and colour, it is not possible for us to guarantee to match the crystal on any given chandelier unless it is one that we originally supplied. If you have an old chandelier which you are refurbishing, we will try to match the crystal on it, but you will need to send us a sample. If we can't match it, the likelihood is that nobody else can either, and you may simply find it easier and cheaper to replace all the crystal for new, or even buy a replacement chandelier. All we can promise to do is help where we can.
Available Crystals:
-
10% Lead Crystal
The standard crystal on most of our chandelier has a lead content of around 10%. This is much sharper, clearer and will give much better light diffraction and splitting than plain glass. We hold a large range of 10% crystal pieces in stock and we are more than happy to offer samples so you can get a better idea of the quality of the crystal.
-
Asfour
Full lead crystal with a 30% lead content, Asfour crystal is world renowned for the excellent quality of crystal and workmanship. It offers a much higher diffraction and clarity then the standard 10% crystal and being computerized precision cut, it has razor sharp facets and lots of colours when shone in the light. All of our crystal chandeliers can be upgraded to Asfour crystal or you can specify to have your bespoke chandelier with Asfour.
