16 Orrefors crystal chandeliers
Given a name meaning "the Orre waterfall," Orrefors is a producer of premium quality glassworks that originated in the Swedish village of Småland.
Orrefors started producing iron works after Lars Johan Silversparre got permission to build a furnace and smithy in 1726 by the scenic river that flows into Lake Orrenas. When iron production became unprofitable toward the end of the nineteenth century, the industry switched to glassworks.
As it advanced, glassworks came to include crystal, sculptures, and more. The company has received several awards. |
