The medieval household was, like modern households, the center of family life for all classes of European society. Yet in contrast to the household of today, it consisted of many more individuals than the nuclear family. From the household of the king to the humblest peasant dwelling, more or less distant relatives and varying numbers of servants and dependents would cohabit with the master of the house and his immediate family. The structure of the medieval household was largely dissolved by the advent of privacy in early modern Europe.

The need for light was a huge aspect of this lifestyle as it is today. With no electricity invented yet, our predecessors had to be inventive and possess great skills such as craftsmanship and blacksmith skills to make candle holders, lanterns, or chandeliers that would be able to hold a live flame for lighting dark areas without burning buildings down. Aristocratic households allowed for more elaborate lighting solutions to be created such as hand forged, ornate, wrought iron chandeliers. Today we at ArtFactory.com still produce these designs in the same hand and materials however most are now redesigned for electric use by our American master craftsmen.
