Abstract
The invention relates to a chandelier including chandelier trimmings connected to a framework by way of a hook and an attachment whereby the attachment is integral with at least part of the framework. The attachment consists of two openings which may be two slots or a slot and a hole which are located in the framework in such a way that the hook can be introduced into the attachment with the minimum of rotational movement and in such a way that the chandelier can be constructed even in close to the ceiling arrangement. It is advantageous if the framework is made from a flat strip or a plate. The hook is formed from wire and consists of a series of bends provided in such a way that when the hook is located in the attachment the trimmings achieve their correct position such that the framework is hidden by the trimmings. In this way, the framework need not be made of an ornamental material. The hook is provided with a stop at its end in the form of a head or a bend such that when the hook is in its final position it cannot be separated from the framework in a horizontal outward or vertical downward motion.
