The piece

Neoclassical Chandelier · Brass · Clear Glass · 3–7 Tiers · E12 / E14

Multiple tiers of clear glass elements arranged on a brass frame — each tier progressively wider toward the bottom, the overall silhouette following the inverted-cone geometry of the classical European chandelier form. The glass components catch and refract light from the candelabra sockets within: the fixture both emits and scatters light simultaneously, producing the prismatic highlights on surrounding walls and ceiling that are distinctive to glass-element chandeliers. As with the original 18th-century prototypes, the effect is most pronounced when the fixture is lit against a darker ambient background.

Five configurations scale from a compact 3-tier, 6-head version (∅ 45 cm, ~15 kg) to a grand 7-tier, 27-head version (∅ 120 cm, ~40 kg). All share the same brass and clear glass material language and a 40 cm hanging chain. Weight is a primary installation consideration across all sizes — structural ceiling support must be confirmed before ordering the larger configurations.

Critical: confirm ceiling structural support before ordering any configuration.

• 3-tier (15 kg) and 4-tier (21 kg): Install into a load-rated ceiling junction box rated for at least 30 kg. A standard residential junction box may not be adequate — confirm the rating on your box before installation.

• 5-tier 15-head (28 kg) and 5-tier 19-head (33 kg): These weights exceed the capacity of most standard junction boxes. A dedicated structural ceiling anchor into a joist or beam is required. Engage a licensed electrician to assess and install appropriate support before ordering.

• 7-tier 27-head (40 kg): This is an exceptionally heavy fixture. A structural engineer or licensed electrician must assess ceiling load capacity and install a dedicated rated anchor point before this chandelier is ordered. Do not install into standard residential drywall ceilings without structural reinforcement.

Bulbs are not included. Each arm uses one E12 (US) or E14 (international) candelabra socket. We recommend 2–4W LED E12/E14 candelabra flame-tip bulbs at 2700K warm white. Warm white complements the brass frame and activates the prismatic scatter of the clear glass elements most warmly. Clear-glass filament LED bulbs produce the sharpest glass refraction and are the most period-appropriate choice for a neoclassical chandelier.

FAQ

Which configuration suits my room? +

Match the diameter to your room and table size — a classic guideline is the chandelier diameter (in cm) = room width (in metres) × 10. So a 4 × 5 m room suits a ∅ 40–50 cm fixture (3-tier 6-head). A 5 × 6 m dining room suits ∅ 60–80 cm (4-tier or 5-tier 15-head). The ∅ 100–120 cm versions are for grand formal rooms above 6 × 6 m, double-height foyers, and ballrooms. Ceiling height matters equally: add the chain (40 cm) and fixture height, then confirm the bottom of the chandelier will hang 75–90 cm above a dining table surface, or 200–210 cm above a clear floor in an entryway.

Why is the weight so important and how do I prepare? +

A standard residential ceiling junction box is typically rated for 23–35 kg — barely adequate for the mid-range configurations. The 7-tier version at 40 kg exceeds this outright. The consequence of under-rated support is catastrophic fixture failure — the chandelier can pull free and fall. Before ordering any version above 20 kg, engage a licensed electrician to inspect the ceiling structure, confirm or upgrade the junction box rating, and if necessary install a dedicated anchor bolt into a joist or concrete ceiling. The cost of proper structural assessment is small relative to the value of the chandelier and the safety risk.

What bulb gives the best prismatic glass effect? +

A clear glass E12/E14 LED filament candelabra bulb at 2700K warm white produces the sharpest refraction through the clear glass elements — the visible point-source light of a filament refracts precisely through each glass surface, creating defined prismatic highlights on the walls and ceiling. This is the most period-authentic choice for a neoclassical chandelier. A frosted bulb reduces the prismatic effect to a softer, more diffused scatter. Both produce warm-white output; avoid cool-white (4000K+) bulbs which produce a harsh quality inconsistent with the classical aesthetic.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E12/E14 LED candelabra bulbs and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads and sized for the total wattage of all bulbs in the fixture (multiply bulb wattage × number of heads). Dimming a glass chandelier to 40–60% typically produces the most atmospheric result — the reduced source brightness makes the prismatic scatter more visible and dramatic against the darker ambient background, rather than competing with it.

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.
