There are a lot of good reasons to restore your chandelier and light fittings, you retain a piece of history even if the chandelier is not classed as very old this could be retaining your own personal history in the form of memories. 

A lot of chandeliers are family heirlooms or property heirlooms so restoring them keeps that sentimental link to your family and memories.  Chandeliers that have been in a property for a long time are linked to the property and become part of it and like you would preserve and restore a listed or old building the same should be done for the chandeliers and period lighting, retaining the history of property.

Restoring and refurbishing chandeliers and vintage lighting means that you are reducing your carbon footprint by giving life to an older item rather than buying new and using original crystal and glass etc also helps retain the historical element of the light as well as helping retain financial value - an antique piece with reproduction parts will be devalued so try to use authentic pieces wherever possible.
