Matilde Glass Chandelier

The piece

Antique Brass · Hand-Blown Glass Globes · 4 Colors

A traditional brass chandelier in turn-of-the-century vocabulary — slender scrolled iron arms in antique brass radiate from a central glass-balustered column, each arm cradling a hand-blown glass globe. A larger globe drops below the canopy as a counterweight, and a small finial closes the silhouette. The proportion is light, the line continuous.

The brass is hand-aged for warm patina depth, and the glass globes are hand-blown in four tints — clear for restraint, white for soft diffusion, blush pink for warmth, and pale blue for a cooler note. Available in five configurations from 3+1 to 8+1 heads, suited to dining rooms, sitting rooms, bay-window reading corners, and entry foyers with traditional or transitional interiors.

Glass Color — Choose at Checkout

Clear

Restrained and architectural — lets the brass scrollwork lead.

White

Soft milk-glass diffusion — a warmer, more residential glow.

Blush Pink

A romantic warm rose — flattering for bedrooms and powder rooms.

Pale Blue

A cool, light tint — fresh in pale or coastal interiors.

Hand-blown glass & hand-aged brass. Each glass globe is hand-blown, so minor variation in thickness, small bubbles, and tone are part of the artisanal character — not flaws. The antique brass finish is hand-aged and may vary slightly between pieces. You'll also see tiny holes in the glass — these are intentional ventilation holes, not defects.

FAQ

Which size suits my room? +

3+1 and 4+1 suit sitting rooms and bedrooms (9–14 m²); 5+1 and 6+1 suit dining rooms and foyers (14–22 m²); 8+1 is for grand dining and double-height entries (22–35 m²).

What does each glass color look like at night? +

Clear lets the brass scrollwork lead; White gives a soft milk glow; Blush Pink casts a warm rose tint; Pale Blue reads cooler and fresher.

Why do the glass globes look slightly different? +

Each globe is hand-blown, so slight variation in thickness, bubbles, and color depth is natural — part of the artisanal character, not a flaw.

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.
