For a long period of time, Bohemian crystal has been synonymous with beauty and perfect quality processing. At the beginning of the 18th century, crystal chandeliers from Bohemia became a popular article and influential rulers started to use them as a decoration of their palaces, but also wealthy commons and mid-class citizens took fancy for them. North Bohemia is today part of the Czech Republic which is where Daniel Swarovski was born to an expert glass cutter and he later joined him and completed a two year apprenticeship. With his expertise gained in glass cutting he invented a revolutionary machine in 1892 which transformed the art of crystal cutting. In 1895 he founded the Swarovski Company. In Bohemia in 1870 Adolph Schonbek had founded his own glassworks and crystal manufacturing. Henry Blake, his grandson, eventually took the control of the business but when they lost ownership during the Second World War, he moved to England to start his own crystal and glass factory.
With the experience and knowledge gained from working around Czechoslovakian artisans trained in how to manufacture and perfect the art of crystal glass, the company soon became the leading British design house for crystal chandeliers and light fittings, which is still true today. The crystal is sourced from the best workshops in Austria, Czech Republic and Germany . Their elegant, refined and stunning chandeliers and ceiling lights are complemented by matching wall lights, table lamps and floor lamps.
