The piece

Wooden Bead Swag Chandelier · Rust Iron Arms · Old White or Old Grey · E12 / E14

Rust-finished iron arms scroll outward from a hand-carved wood hub, each arm looped with draped strands of wooden beads that swag naturally between the scrollwork — the same gesture as festooned garlands in traditional European decorative ironwork, translated into warm natural wood. Teardrop wood ornaments hang from each arm tip, pulling the eye downward and completing the layered, textile-like silhouette. The combination of aged rust iron and distressed wood reads as genuinely old rather than merely rustic.

Six configurations range from a compact 3-arm version to a two-tier 8+4 statement piece spanning over 100 cm in height. Two body finishes — Old White and Old Grey — sit on the same rust iron arm structure, shifting the overall palette from warm and romantic to cooler and more restrained. The rust arms are fixed across all versions.

Overview
Detail

The iron arms are rust-finished on all versions. Choose your wood body and bead finish below.

Old White

Distressed chalk white wood body and beads — warm, softly aged. The rust iron arms contrast against the lighter finish, making the scrollwork more prominent. Suits romantic, French country, and farmhouse interiors.

Old Grey

Distressed weathered grey wood body and beads — cooler and more restrained. The rust and grey create an industrial-rustic contrast. Suits loft, Scandinavian farmhouse, and neutral-palette interiors.

All configurations include a 30 cm / 12″ hanging chain. The 8+4 two-tier version adds a second inner ring of arms at a lower level.

Bulbs are not included. Each arm uses one E12 (US) or E14 (international) candelabra socket. We recommend 2–4W LED E12/E14 candelabra bulbs at 2700K warm white — the warm tone complements both Old White and Old Grey finishes. Edison-style filament candelabra bulbs enhance the rustic, vintage character of the chandelier. Maximum 25W per socket.

Old White or Old Grey — which suits my interior? +

Old White is warmer and more romantic — the chalk white wood and beads contrast visibly against the rust iron, drawing the scrollwork into sharp relief. Best for French country, Provence, traditional farmhouse, and cottagecore interiors where warmth and femininity are the tone. Old Grey is cooler and more industrial — the weathered grey neutralizes the warmth of the rust, producing a more graphic, textural composition. Best for Scandinavian farmhouse, loft, and neutral-palette interiors where the contrast is meant to read as raw rather than romantic.

Which configuration should I choose? +

The 3 and 5-arm versions (∅ 60 cm) suit small dining tables (up to 100 cm), bedrooms, and breakfast nooks. 6 arms (∅ 75 cm) covers a standard 4–6 seat dining table. 8 and 10 arms (∅ 83 cm) share the same footprint — choose 8 for a more open look, 10 for a denser bead swag and more light output. The 8+4 two-tier (∅ 83 cm, H 105 cm) is a statement piece for high-ceiling spaces — at 105 cm tall it requires a minimum 2.8 m ceiling to hang comfortably above a dining table surface.

What bulb gives the best rustic effect? +

An Edison-style LED filament candelabra bulb (E12/E14, 2–4W, 2200–2700K amber warm white) is the most period-appropriate choice — the visible spiral filament and amber glass enhance the vintage, handcraft character of the fixture. Alternatively, a standard frosted or opal E12/E14 LED at 2700K gives cleaner ambient light through the open arm structure if a softer, less directional glow is preferred. Bulbs are not included.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E12/E14 LED candelabra bulbs and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Specify “dimmable” when purchasing LED candelabra bulbs and confirm your dimmer is rated for LED loads. Dimming to 30–40% creates a particularly atmospheric, candlelit effect that suits the aged aesthetic of the fixture.

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.
