The Candelora Candelabra Chandelier | Brass | CLCDL

The Candelora is a candelabra chandelier in brass: slender arms curve up from a small central sphere, each ending in a candle cup with a tall sleeve, around a single stem that rises to a round canopy on a link chain. It is made with six lights, 124 cm (49") across, or eight lights, 156 cm (61.5") across, both 52 cm (20.5") high.

The finish

The brass is finished in Desert Gold from the Casalola metal finish chart: a pale, warm gold with a fine granular glow, softly antiqued so it reads as aged gilt rather than polished metal. It sits well with ivory, linen, travertine and oak, and holds its warmth against a white ceiling when the lamps are off.

The design

The arms are kept thin and spread wide, so the chandelier covers a large table or a big room while staying almost weightless to the eye. There is no glass and no shade: the candle lamps are the light, which gives the piece the calm of a traditional candelabra in a pared-back, modern line.

Choosing a size

The 6-light, 124 cm (49"), suits a dining table of about 200 to 240 cm (79 to 94"), a living room or an entrance hall. The 8-light, 156 cm (61.5"), suits a table of 240 cm (94") and longer, a great room or a double-height entry. Over a table, hang the candle cups 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35") above the surface; in a walkway, keep at least 2.1 m (7 ft) clear beneath it.

Suspension and installation

It hangs from a round canopy on a link chain, and the overall drop can be set anywhere from about 55 cm to 257 cm (21.5 to 101.25"), so it works under a standard ceiling and in a stairwell or double-height space. It can be mounted on a flat or a vaulted ceiling. Hardwired by your electrician. The estimated weight is about 6 to 8 kg (13 to 18 lb) for the 6-light and 8 to 11 kg (18 to 24 lb) for the 8-light.

Lamping

Six or eight E12 candelabra lamps (E14 outside North America), up to 40W each. Because the lamps are bare, the bulb is part of the look: a clear or softly frosted candle-shaped LED at warm white 2700K gives the best glow. Bulbs are not included. Dimming is available on request and suits this piece well.

Care

Switch off and let the lamps cool. Dust the arms and candle sleeves with a soft dry cloth. No metal polish or abrasive cleaners, which would lift the Desert Gold finish. For indoor use only.
