THE HISTORY OF THE CRYSTAL CHANDELIER PENDANTS PRODUCTION IN TURKEY

The mass production of crystal chandelier pendants in Turkey started in 1940 with two Venetian glass artisans who escaped from World War II and established a small workplace. In the following years the Turkis who learned the production of chandelier pendants from those artisans established a partnership and through the sponsorship of Mr. Fehmi Bey, they established the first factory that produce crystal chandelier pendants in Bayrampasa, istanbul. This production under the roof of that first factory continued till 1969.
