Chandeliers are in just about every home and commercial structure you can visit. You'll find everything from simple and modest chandeliers to outrageously expensive models that are designed to impress rather than illuminate. Of course the more luxurious the chandelier the harder it will be to find and maintain if you're an owner. Some chandeliers even function as conversation pieces and attract visitors from both far and near. Things of beauty, chandeliers can figuratively and literally brighten any room they are a part of.

The Sotheby's Auction Of 2010

Back in December of 2010 a pair of Italian chandeliers were sold for $677,203 at the Sotheby Auction in Paris. These chandeliers are among the world most expensive and are constructed from glit-metal and a variety of rock crystals. It's rumored that one of these chandeliers is being used as a museum piece rather than a tool for illumination. This isn't too surprising as it's hard to justify hanging something so expensive from a ceiling.

Cleaning Chandeliers

Cleaning even modest chandeliers can be a daunting and dangerous task. A proper cleaning involves a ladder, towels, sprays, and specialized treatment chemicals. For this reason alone many people forgo having their chandeliers cleaned allowing them to collect dust and their luster to fade.  Those who've spent considerable money on chandeliers like the previously mentioned Italian pair however often take the opposite approach. These persons generally seek out professional window cleaners not only to clean their chandeliers but to protect them as well. Only a professional who cleans glass for a living understands just how delicate and fragile chandeliers can be.
