The earliest chandeliers held candles and were probably a massive fire hazard when introduced back in the 1300s.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">The first chandeliers were made of two wood beams crossed in the center. Spikes on the ends held the candles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">\u201cGasoliers\u201d hit the scene in the early 1700s, featuring gas-powered lighting instead of candles. Thankfully the name went back to &#8220;chandeliers&#8221; when they evolved to electricity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">Only churches, gathering halls or the excessively wealthy were initially able to snag one of these opulent beasts. Now we\u2019re lucky enough to serve up chandeliers of all sizes, shapes, designs and prices here at Laurie\u2019s.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">Some famous chandeliers of note:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">Evlis\u2019s Graceland boasts a wrought-iron and Italian-cut glass contraption that takes 72 light bulbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">California\u2019s Winchester Mystery House (of the gun family fame) has a chandelier that was revamped to hold 13 candles instead of 12 to keep the resident ghosts happy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">The White House\u2019s Blue Room sports a 79-foot by 36-foot chandelier that takes a single person two days to clean.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Rawengulk; font-size: 18pt;\">Chandeliers.
