A Ballroom is a large formal room designed for dancing, entertaining and social gatherings. Found in grand country houses, stately homes, palaces and historic hotels, ballrooms are characterised by high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, parquet flooring, monumental mirrors and magnificent chandeliers. Antique lighting, particularly crystal chandeliers and wall sconces, plays a central role in creating the elegance and atmosphere associated with these impressive interiors.
