An important feature of a Dutch chandelier is the shiny large sphere on the underside of the stem. By means of the shiny sphere the (candle) light is reflected. The arms of the Dutch chandelier are deeply sagging and S-shaped.
The arms are S-shaped so that the candlelight comes out at the height of the sphere. As a result, the (candlelight) reflects optimally. In most cases the Dutch chandelier ends with a drop or teat. See below a picture of the construction of a typical Old Dutch crocodile chandelier.
