Mustina Chandelier

The piece

Brass Body · Clear Crystal · Theatre of Light

A chandelier that plays with light — Crinoline pairs a warm brass body with hundreds of clear, faceted crystals that reflect like tiny mirrors. Every passing moment, every shifting shadow, every nearby movement becomes part of the room's light: a quiet performance that changes by the second. Available in four scales, from intimate dining to grand-foyer presence.

Installation

Hardwired ceiling installation — a licensed electrician is recommended for all sizes.
All mounting hardware and a 19.7″ / 50 cm hanging chain are included.
Chain length can be shortened on-site to adjust the drop height for your ceiling.
Confirm the ceiling box weight rating before installing — particularly for the 6-head (≈9 kg) and 9-head (≈13 kg) configurations. Reinforce with a fan-rated brace box if needed.
For dining rooms, hang the bottom of the fixture 75–85 cm (30–34″) above the table surface.
Crystals can be unclipped during installation and re-attached after the body is secured — this makes hanging easier and reduces handling stress on the crystals.

FAQ

Is the crystal real or acrylic? +

The shades are real cut crystal — clear, transparent, and faceted to refract light into sparkle and shadow. Each piece carries the weight, clarity, and optical character of true crystal, not acrylic substitutes.

Which size should I choose? +

As a general guide: 4 Heads (∅ 40 cm) suits small dining tables, breakfast nooks, or bedrooms with 2.4–2.7 m ceilings. 5 Heads (∅ 50 cm) — versatile for standard dining rooms and entryways. 6 Heads (∅ 60 cm) — large dining tables, open-plan living, formal entries. 9 Heads (∅ 80 cm) — grand foyers, double-height ceilings, statement spaces over 4 m wide.

Will the brass develop a patina? +

The hand-finished brass is sealed and stable under normal indoor conditions — it will retain its warm tone over time without significant tarnishing. Each piece is individually finished, so subtle tonal variation between fixtures is part of the artisanal character.

Which bulb do you recommend? +

A warm white (2700K) LED bulb in E12 or E14 candelabra base, at 3–5W per head. Clear flame-tip or candle-style bulbs work beautifully — they let the bulb's filament reflect through the crystals for the most dramatic sparkle. Avoid frosted bulbs, which dampen the reflective effect that makes Crinoline distinctive.

How heavy is it? Will my ceiling support it? +

Weight ranges from 6.1 kg (4 Heads) up to approximately 13 kg (9 Heads). Standard ceiling boxes typically support up to 23 kg (50 lbs), so all sizes are within range — but we strongly recommend confirming with a licensed electrician before installation, especially for 6 and 9 heads. A fan-rated brace box is the safest option for the larger sizes.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes — paired with dimmable LED candelabra bulbs and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), Crinoline dims smoothly. Dimmed crystal light is particularly atmospheric — many owners install on a dimmer specifically for this reason.

How do I clean the crystals? +

Switch off the power and let the bulbs cool. For light dust, use a soft microfibre cloth or a clean feather duster. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe each crystal with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a 50/50 water-and-isopropyl-alcohol mix — this evaporates cleanly and leaves no residue. Avoid commercial glass sprays directly on the crystals, as overspray can affect the brass finish.

Can crystals be replaced if one breaks? +

Yes — individual crystals can be replaced. If one is damaged in transit or use, please contact us with your SKU and we will arrange replacement crystals.

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.
