Vintage chandeliers are often crafted from high-quality materials, such as brass, wrought iron, and bronze, which provide a sturdy, long-lasting structure. These materials are often paired with glass, crystal, or fabric shades to create a timeless, luxurious aesthetic. Many vintage chandeliers also feature hand-forged metal elements or detailed carvings, adding to their distinct charm. The combination of durable metals and ornate embellishments makes vintage chandeliers both functional and decorative.
