  A chandelier is a branched decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture with two or more arms bearing lights. Chandeliers are often ornate, containing many lamps and complex arrays of glass helping to illuminate a room with refracted light. A chandelier typically hangs from the ceiling and, in most cases modern chandeliers provide illumination with standard electric light bulbs or electric candles.

  Metal chandeliers are usually made of brass, nickel or iron and have a very substantial and strong appearance. These types of chandeliers often include a chandelier shade, and also make use of glass cups around the lighting fixtures. The arms of the chandelier are usually sharply curved, but modern metal chandeliers use straighter lines or softer curves.

  Our hand-made Italian glass chandeliers are considered by many to be the finest in the world. Most are curved, tubular forms that are made exclusively from forged steel and hand blown glass. These types of chandeliers often use floral motifs in their design, and are made using many bright pastel colors.

  A floor lamp comprises a stand that supports the bulb holder and bulb, which is shaded to distribute light. Like table lamps, floor lamps cast a warm, ambient, cozy glow, and are also good for delivering local light to a couch or chair. The shape and thickness of the shade controls the distribution of light. If you need more lighting in a space, but do not want to go with the traditional table lamps, a floor lamp is the perfect choice. The floor lamps of today are much better than they were in the past and there are many different benefits to using floor lamps.

  If you want something sturdier than table lamps, you will find that a floor lamp will give you what you are looking for. In the past you may have found that floor lamps were anything but sturdy, but today there are standards for these lamps that ensure they don't tip over. A floor lamp also offers better lighting, known as full-spectrum lighting. Using a floor lamp offers the benefit of lighting that you can see, but also gives off light that you cannot see. A floor lamp is able to light up a room in a much more efficient and effective way than the traditional table lamp. Adjustable levels of light are one of the biggest benefits of the floor lamp. If you use a room for many different activities you will find that a floor lamp is perfect for what you need. A floor lamp is great if you need a light for reading or to complete a task, unlike table lamps which may not give off enough light.

The floor lamp provides you with an attractive source of light that can illuminate a room of any size. Dragonflys has many different styles to choose from ranging from contemporary to classic, allowing you to compliment the style of your home or business.

  Our mirrors, like our lighting fixtures, are hand crafted by Florentine artisans. They make a great addition to any room, especially when complimenting our lighting fixtures. Some mirrors can go in specific places in order to serve specific purposes, such as in the bathroom. However, choosing the right place to hang a decorative mirror is not an easy task. The most important thing to consider is what is going to be reflected in the mirror. For example, a mirror placed in front of a glass door or window can bring the outdoors inside.

  Most people like to incorporate full-length mirrors into their bedroom. However, the mirror can be hidden behind a door where it can only been seen when used. We recommended that you hang your full-length mirror on a wall for the best effect. Another strategy to get the most out of your mirror is to place it near or behind a light fixture to double the amount of light you normally would have.

  Our hand-made Italian mirrors, with modern flair, are fresh and unexpected, defined by their perfect balance of fashion and function. Exemplifying modern simplicity, these mirrors are works of art, simple in design, but bold in innovative artistry. Our mirrors are not heavily ornamented; rather the focus is on shape and texture. These mirrors are available in finely finished metals and many intriguing shapes and sizes.

  A stylish and unique frame can help make the most of your mirror, especially when it is placed in the right setting. Dragonfly?s mirrors are perfect for any application and when paired with our lighting, can enhance the character of any room.

  Pendant lights are any lights that hang from a ceiling, whether they hang over a kitchen island or a dining room table. Pendant lights can cast direct light or diffuse light, and can be decorative or utilitarian. Many pendant lights have several branches. Perfect for your home kitchen or living room, Dragonfly?s pendant lighting fixtures add a soothing effect to your environment. These lights are perfect above a home bar, or over a living room sofa. For restaurant and lounge owners, pendant lights are an inexpensive option if you are looking to add classy ambiance to your social gatherings.

  Pendant lighting fixtures will not only illuminate your home, but also add color and personality to your interior. Pendant lights are simpler and more affordable versions of chandeliers. They are single-hanging entities without the extra branches of a chandelier. The light may be stripped to a bare bulb suspended from a cord, or housed in a decorative shade crafted from glass or metal. Pendant lights can be every bit as fancy and stylistic as chandeliers at a fraction of the cost.

  Pendants can range in size from 2 inches to larger fixtures that are 22 to 48 inches in diameter. Interior designers appreciate them because they are more interesting than recessed lighting. Pendants can be used to spice-up a room or to compliment color schemes. When hung in multiples (in straight lines or staggered at different heights for effect), they can also effectively set a mood. Pendant lighting fixtures typically serve as task lights which define the work surface of a kitchen island or bar, but they can be also used in foyers, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Wherever space is an issue, pendant lights can be hung from above, freeing up space in the room for furniture and other things.

  Dragonfly?s hand-made Italian pendants offer a kinetic dimension; light dances as it shines through the glass and color comes alive. Pendants should not be seen as household furniture, but should command the same respect as jewelry. They sparkle, enlighten, and soften a clean, simple environment. Pendant lighting is one of the most important design innovations of the past century.

  Table lamps provide local light that is warm, cozy, and intimate, and also provide focal points throughout a room. Table lamps comprise a base or stand that supports the bulb holder and bulb, and have a cord that delivers power to the source. The bulb is shaded, and the shade itself is what controls the distribution of the light. Spot lighting is a term for light used to highlight certain areas within a room or to create focal points for activities like reading. This is best achieved through the use of table lamps, which also double as a great accessory to help define the style of the room.

  Table lamps are composed of several main parts: the base, the shade, and the type of light source. The base may be made from traditional or contemporary materials such as brass, iron, or bronze. A piece of art may serve as the foundation for a unique lamp. When selecting a table lamp, both the base and the shade should be in proportion, to the furniture in the room, and to each other. The shade should be at eye level if you are sitting down, and the bulb should not be out of sight. The shade can really enhance or ruin the look of a lamp. Dragonfly?s shades are carefully selected to never let them overpower the lamps. Our table lamp shades can be transparent or opaque. A transparent shade will add the most amount of light to your room. An opaque shade will focus the light in one direction and can be used for task lighting.

  One should think of table lamps as part light and also part sculpture. You want them to be aesthetically beautiful whether they are turned on or off. But you do want to ensure they do not block your view or impede conversation, which makes finding the right size crucial. Rooms need to have a source of light about every 10 feet; table lamps can perfectly fill the gap in these difficult to illuminate areas.

  The table lamp is ideal for several specific rooms of your home. The living room or den can benefit from a table lamp because people often gather in these rooms to complete tasks like reading. Using a table lamp in these rooms gives them the task lighting needed and also allows you to add a stylish touch to the rooms. Table lamps are also great in bedrooms. It makes it possible for you to read in bed and then turn out the light without having to get out of bed. Having a table lamp available is a matter of convenience and style, and our hand-made selection of table lamps achieves both.
