An Electric Chandelier is a chandelier designed or adapted to operate using electric lighting rather than candles or gas. Early electric chandeliers often retained the appearance of traditional candle fittings while incorporating concealed wiring and decorative lamp holders. Antique examples from the Edwardian period onwards are particularly valued for combining period craftsmanship with modern practicality. *Related Terms*\ Antique Lighting, Chandelier, Electric Conversion, Edwardian Chandelier, Rewiring.
