What Is a Botanical Chandelier?
A botanical chandelier recreates the forms, textures, and growth patterns of plants, flowers, and natural elements through metalwork, glass, or mixed materials. Also known as floral chandeliers or nature-inspired fixtures, these pieces transform dining rooms and entryways into garden-like spaces through sculptural lighting design.
What You Get With the Currey & Company Hortensia

- Contemporary Gold Leaf Finish on Blooms -- The flower elements feature hand-applied gold leaf that creates warm light reflection and develops subtle patina over time.
- Silver Leaf Linear Leaves -- Hand-applied silver leaf on the foliage elements adds visual depth and metallic contrast that prevents monochromatic appearance.
