Proposed merge with Candelabra[edit]

Information from this article can be placed on the candelabra page, since the articles are about the same item, only with regional differences PaintedCarpet (talk) 20:57, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a mistake labeling a Ljuskrona as a candelabra. It is actually a chandelier. Paper wrapped candelabra are called Ljustaken. (Light stakes). A crown hangs in the air, a stake sits on the table.Giant Green Snake (talk) 14:59, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The difference between a candelabra and a Ljuskrona is that Ljuskrona are only used at Christmas or Jul, built of scrap materials, covered with cut paper. They are considered folk art as the making, cutting and wrapping are taught through the family structure.

This is not a textile art, or at least I did not see any other paper folk art listed under Textile arts.

A notation in Kansas would be good but should also be followed by notations in all other states where the usage has been verified. Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Texas, Delaware, New York, and California.

Notations in Sweden would be great, but also notations should appear in Finland.Giant Green Snake (talk) 00:09, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems sufficiently different to warrant a separate page, and it's well documented. [User:Coastalroast|Coastalroast]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coastalroast (talk • contribs) 14:54, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup tag[edit]

The article is unfocused and disorganized, reading more like a jumble of factoids than a coherent encyclopedia entry.

What is it about? Specific Swedish varieties of chandeliers? Or candelabras? Or both?

Or is it about the dictionary term "ljuskrona"? Or Swedish-American traditions re: these items?
