Chandeliers in Palaces

Chandeliers - Ever thought of how they were lit up when there was no electricity. If so what else mystifies you about them?

How the historic Chandeliers were used to lit up? Was this day on day work by servants?

Yup, chandeliers won't light by themselves only servants of the palace can light them that is with the help of ladder or stick and a source of flame to light it

I think before sunset like 5:00 till 6:00pm just enough sunlight to guide the servants and at the same time economize oil or wax. thanks
