Candelabra Chandelier | Brass or Black | CLYV096B

The Candelabra Chandelier is a cluster of tall, slim candle tubes rising from a sculptural forged bowl base. It comes in solid brass or in black stainless steel, in three sizes: 10 lights, 60 cm (23.6″) wide; 12 lights, 90 cm (35.4″) wide; and 16 lights, 120 cm (47.2″) wide. All three are 58 cm (22.8″) high and hang from a standard 50 cm (19.7″) rod. It suits a living room, a foyer, a bedroom or a formal dining room.

The brass

The candle tubes and the forged bowl base are solid brass. The base gives the piece its weight and grounds the tall tubes above it. Brass warms gently in colour over time. The black version is made in stainless steel with a black finish, and it holds its colour.

Sizing and placement

The 60 cm (23.6″) suits a living room of about 12 to 20 m² (130 to 215 sq ft), a bedroom or a small foyer. The 90 cm (35.4″) suits a main living room of about 20 to 35 m² (215 to 375 sq ft) or a dining table of about 180 to 220 cm (71 to 87″). The 120 cm (47.2″) suits a large living room, a loft, an open-plan space or a grand foyer. Over a table, hang the bottom of the chandelier 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35″) above the surface.

Suspension

With the standard 50 cm (19.7″) rod, the chandelier hangs about 108 cm (42.5″) from the ceiling. Over a dining table that suits ceilings of roughly 2.6 to 2.75 m (8.5 to 9 ft). For higher ceilings the rod is made longer, and it can be made shorter to order.

The light

The vertical tubes give an even, warm light that spreads across the room, more ambient light than direct downlight. Output runs from about 2,000 lumens on the 10-light to about 5,000 lumens on the 16-light. Over a kitchen island or a desk, keep task lighting alongside it.

Lamping and installation

G9 lamps: 10, 12 or 16 depending on size. Warm white LED at 2700K, around 3 to 5 W each. The 10-light weighs about 9 to 12 kg (20 to 26 lb), the 12-light about 13 to 18 kg (29 to 40 lb) and the 16-light about 18 to 26 kg (40 to 57 lb). The fixture is hardwired; have your electrician fix it to a joist or reinforced blocking.

Care

Switch off and let the lamps cool. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Use no metal polish or abrasive cleaners on the brass: they flatten the finish and can mark it.

Made to order

Every piece is made to order. The rod length can be set to your ceiling height, and dimming is available on request.
