The Chandelier Show
The term chandelier originated in the English language around 1736 and comes from the French candelabra meaning candlestick. Prior to this, chandeliers and various hanging lights had been known by other names, especially the word lustre, a usage which spread across Europe. However, by the eighteenth century 'chandelier' was used by most of the world to describe any decorative light fixture suspended from the ceiling incorporating two or more candles or electric lamps.
