Victorian style chandeliers are ornate and elaborate lighting fixtures inspired by the 19th-century Victorian era. Victorian style is characterized by ornamentation and details such as curves and folds. Metal Victorian chandeliers are often very ornate, with an intricate metal structure densely hung with crystal trimmings. A common material for their manufacture is golden cast brass, which is either polished or gold-plated. The glass parts of the chandelier are usually made of massive glass decorated by hand grinding. Successful imitations of these chandeliers are particularly suitable for period and luxury antique interiors.
