Royal Crown Derby is a long established brand that specialises in creating beautiful home accessories perfect for brightening up any style interior. The history of the company dates back to before 1750, when Andrew Planche established the first china works in Derby. Shortly after that he began to collaborate with William Duesbury and together they produced high quality china that has been accessorising homes since. Today, the brand employs 200 craftspeople and manufactures the highest quality English fine bone china in its factory in Derby, England. Their pieces are truly royal and it is no surprise Queen Victoria granted the company permission to include the title ‘Royal’ in its company name in 1890. 

Finding the perfect chandelier for your home is not an easy task - there are many different styles to choose from, from classic chandeliers to more modern adaptations, to alternative designer lighting pieces which use unusual materials. Adding a chandelier to your interior can instil a sense of sophistication. The term chandelier originates from the French word ‘chandelle,’ and literally means ‘candle holder.’ The first known chandeliers appeared during the 14th century and boasted simplistic designs. Since then, chandeliers have become synonymous with class and style, with many of our very own brands putting their unique aesthetic on their interpretations. Today’s blog will help you find the right chandelier for your home and style.
