Dark Brass · Hand-Blown Amber Glass · 5 Configurations
A traditional chandelier in dark brass with hand-blown amber glass shades — slender scrolled arms curve down from a slim central column, each arm cradling a free-form glass tulip with a ruffled, irregular rim. The amber glass carries warm caramel and tea-stain depth that catches light differently from every angle. No two shades are identical.
The dark brass finish is hand-aged with deeper tones in the recesses, lending a turn-of-the-century character. Available from 5 heads for sitting rooms up to a 12-head two-tier configuration for grand dining and double-height entries — suiting traditional, transitional, and warm-tone modern interiors where a glow of amber light is wanted.

FAQ
Which size suits my room? +
The 5-head (∅ 22.8″) and 6-head (∅ 27.6″) suit sitting rooms and dining rooms of 12–18 m² (130–195 ft²). The 8-head (∅ 31.5″) fits 18–25 m² dining rooms. The 9-head and 12-head two-tier configurations (height 105–125 cm) are built for grand dining, foyers, and 9 ft+ double-height spaces.
What does the amber glass look like under light? +
The hand-blown amber glass casts a warm caramel glow — softer and more atmospheric than clear glass, with the irregular ruffled rim throwing light unevenly across the ceiling. The effect is closest to old apothecary or stained-glass lighting, and pairs well with warm-white 2700K–3000K LED bulbs.
Is the Franklin dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. The fixture takes E14 candelabra-base bulbs. Install dimmable LED candle bulbs on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the chandelier dims smoothly.
Why do the amber shades look slightly different from each other? +
Each shade is hand-blown, so subtle variation in the ruffled rim shape, glass thickness, and amber depth is natural. This is the artisanal character of hand-blown glass — no two shades are identical. The dark brass finish is also hand-aged and may carry minor tonal variation.
How is the 9 / 12-head version different? +
The 9 and 12-head versions are two-tier — arms stack in upper and lower rings rather than sitting on a single plane. Total height jumps to 105 cm (9-head) and 125 cm (12-head), so they need 9 ft+ ceilings. The 5–8 head versions are single-tier and suit standard 8 ft ceilings.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
