Founded in Bohemia in the 1870s, The Schonbek Brand has been manufacturing crystal chandeliers for generations. From the White House to Buckingham Palace, Schonbek crystal pieces can be found everywhere throughout the world. They specialize in producing authentic handcrafted crystal chandeliers made from only the highest quality materials. Each piece is made with the intention to be its own masterpiece.

The Schonbek Brand started when Adolph Schonbek left his family's glass-working business to start his own, A. Schonbek & Co. Here, he began manufacturing crystal chandeliers, and it didn't take long until his lighting fixtures were recognized internationally. The company's iconic crest was awarded to him by the former emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph I of the Habsburg Court.

The Schonbek Brand specializes in crystal lighting fixtures. Each piece is produced with some of the finest crystal money can buy. Below are the five types of crystal they offer.

Optic Crystal

As one of the most durable crystals, Optic Crystal is a clear, colorless crystal that is a great option for a material in a chandelier. Its durability makes it long-living, and its translucent appearance makes it ideal for light to pass through. Optic Crystal has no mineral content, which contributes to its clear appearance. Optic Crystal was created to optimize internal light refraction. In terms of lighting, this not only lets chandeliers be bright, but attention-grabbing from the translucent crystals.

Optic Haze

Engineered with optic crystal manufacturers, optic haze is one of Schonbek’s most popular crystal offerings. This crystal is elegant and captivating. As light passes through, the crystals are even more illuminated. Unlike Optic Crystal, Optic Haze has much more depth and dimension. This makes it ideal to use in a breathtaking chandelier.

Heritage

As a machine-cut crystal, Heritage is luxurious and reaches far above industry standards. This flawless crystal is characterized by visual clarity and a refined look. Heritage has a prismatic brilliance and dimension that attributes to its opulent design. This crystal is featured in many of the best-selling chandeliers at The Schonbek Brand.

Swarovski Elements

The Schonbek Brand offers the finest crystal in the world: Swarovski Elements. Free of flaws, this lead-free crystal is dust resistant and impervious to residue due to its invisible coating. The most ideal crystal for chandeliers, Swarovski Elements obtains technical perfection through optical purity. This crystal creates true masterpieces.

Rock Crystal

This crystal stems from ancient times. As a natural quartz gemstone, Rock Crystal is almost impossible to recreate in the lab. Millions of years of unique veins inside the crystal make it completely distinctive. This crystal is recovered deep within mines, then sent to be polished to maintain its breathtaking appearance. Rock Crystal makes a unique, gorgeous chandelier.

Though The Schonbek Brand is made to order, you can view their popular styles on the website. Below are some of the most popular chandeliers.
