When you think of hanging light fixtures, you probably don’t immediately think of a black chandelier. The common perception of a chandelier is the gilded and sparkling, multi-tiered crystal fixture like you might find hanging in the grand ballroom of an antebellum mansion. Almost everyone immediately thinks of those huge focal points the villains and heroes alike end up swinging from in adventure movies when they have to save the damsel at the ball. 
A traditional fixture in wrought iron or painted steel can help bring out the lighter shades in a tablecloth, draperies, napkins or chair covers in a dining room, by providing contrast. It can also be coordinated with other fixtures, like candelabras, wall sconces and various figures. Black chandeliers and wrought iron chandeliers can make a bold statement if they are made with many scrolls or details and multiple lights. A black crystal chandelier can look very elegant with golds and silver shades in a room.
