Classic Chandeliers

Classical chandeliers represent one of the most enduring expressions of decorative lighting, defined by balance, proportion, and craftsmanship refined through centuries of architectural history. At Rocco Borghese, classical chandeliers are conceived as bespoke lighting installations, informed by historic European traditions while responding precisely to the scale, symmetry, and character of each interior space.

Every chandelier is individually commissioned, with form, structure, and illumination developed to complement ceiling heights, room proportions, and surrounding architectural detail. Glass elements are selected and composed with restraint, allowing light to enhance the space rather than dominate it. Rather than replicating historical designs, classical references are interpreted with precision, preserving authenticity while ensuring architectural relevance in contemporary settings.

These chandeliers are designed to integrate seamlessly into both heritage properties and refined modern interiors, providing continuity between tradition and present-day architecture. The result is lighting that transcends ornament, functioning as a considered architectural element that supports the identity of the space while expressing the timeless elegance associated with classical design.

These classic chandeliers are usually made with sets of hanging glass crystal prisms. The light-scattering properties of these prisms illuminate the room. This is in contrast to contemporary chandeliers, which do not contain prisms and use direct light from lamps to light up a room.

Our range of classic chandeliers contains simple, yet elegant pieces you would be proud to put in your home. From Montgolfière, Regency style, and Empire chandeliers to the timeless beauty of Venetian glass and Art Deco designs.  Our collection offers a diverse selection to suit a variety of interior styles and preferences. Each chandelier type carries its unique charm, whether it’s the opulent grandeur of Empire chandeliers or the graceful lines of Montgolfière pieces, ensuring that you’ll find the perfect classic lighting fixture to enhance your space.

Adam style chandeliers (neoclassical) can turn almost any room into a well-lit or cosy and ultra-stylish environment. Traditional Venetian style goes a long way and we have assembled a collection of unique pieces that work with any décor.

Our bespoke chandeliers combine antique elegance with a simple function.

The traditional style of many pieces we create includes droplets, tubes, tiers, multiple arms, and vintage collections.

Candle lights, dimmable LEDs, and modern twists on antique classics are just some of the options we can explore when designing your next piece.
