The Chandelier In The Movie

At 17 feet high and 13.2 feet wide, the chandelier weighs 2.2 tons and is valued at more than US$1.3 million. The piece is bejeweled with over 20,000 full cut Swarovski crystal chandelier pendants. Being well known for their unrivaled brilliance and luster, and for the perfection of their precision cut, Swarovski chandelier components have illuminated some of the most dramatic and historic interiors around the globe, from New York's Metropolitan Opera House to Paris' Palace of Versailles.

The chandelier took four months to construct and four full days to assemble it at Pinewood Studios, where it was then raised to the domed ceiling of the Auditorium, which was reinforced to accommodate the weight of the chandelier. The top of the set was constructed around the chandelier after it was hung.
