The piece

Hand-Blown Glass Chandelier · Nickel Body · 3 Sizes · 4 Glass Colors · E12 / E14

Every drop on this chandelier is hand-blown glass, shaped by breath and tool rather than cast in a mould. Because each one is formed individually, no two are perfectly identical: slight variation in shape, wall thickness, and the way each drop catches the light is inherent to the process and central to the fixture's character. A polished nickel body and frame carries all the drops, cool reflective metal that lets the glass colour hold full visual command.

Three sizes, 9, 18 and 22 heads, scale from a focused dining accent to a large-format statement piece for double-height or grand formal spaces. Four glass colours, White, Pink, Yellow and Blue, allow the same silhouette to read as quietly luminous or richly chromatic depending on your interior.

Four Glass Colors

Verify ceiling structural capacity before ordering the Large (22-head) configuration. At 56 kg (123.5 lbs), this fixture significantly exceeds standard residential chandelier loads. A licensed electrician or structural engineer must confirm your ceiling junction box and joist rating before installation. A reinforced ceiling plate or dedicated structural anchor is likely required.

The Medium (18-head, 38 kg) also exceeds standard junction box ratings. The Small (9-head, 24 kg) requires a fan-rated or heavy-fixture rated box at minimum. Confirm all ratings before purchase.

Glass Color — Choose at Checkout

The nickel body is fixed. Select your glass drop colour below.

White

The most luminous option, white glass transmits light cleanly, producing a bright and even glow. Works with any interior palette and lets the nickel frame reflect prominently.

Pink

Blush to rose, casts a warm, flattering tint when lit. Pairs naturally with cream walls, soft furnishings, and romantic or feminine interiors.

Yellow

Warm amber-gold, the most luminous chromatic option. Projects sun-like warmth across the room when lit. Vivid and joyful, suited to eclectic and maximalist spaces.

Blue

Cool cobalt to midnight, the most dramatic of the four. Against the nickel frame the blue glass creates a jewel-like, high-contrast effect. Best in spaces with strong design intention.

Each glass drop is unique. Hand-blown glass carries inherent variation in form, wall thickness and translucency from drop to drop. That individuality is intrinsic to the process. The finished chandelier will closely match the photographs in overall colour and character, but no two fixtures are identical at the level of individual drops.

FAQ

Which size is right for my space? +

The 9-head (∅ 52 cm) suits a round or square dining table up to 120 cm, a master bedroom, or a standard residential entryway. The 18-head (∅ 66 cm) anchors a larger dining table (140–180 cm), a living room, or a boutique hotel lobby. The 22-head (∅ 75 cm, H 95 cm) is a large-format statement piece for double-height spaces and grand entryways. At 95 cm tall plus the 30 cm chain, it requires at least 3.2–3.5 m of ceiling height to hang comfortably above head level.

Do I need to reinforce my ceiling? +

For the 22-head (56 kg), ceiling reinforcement is very likely required. Standard residential junction boxes are rated for 23–35 kg, and this fixture exceeds that significantly. A licensed electrician must install a heavy-fixture rated brace into the ceiling joist before hanging. The 18-head (38 kg) also exceeds standard box ratings. The 9-head (24 kg) may fall within range of a fan-rated box, so confirm your specific box rating before installation.

Are the glass drops really hand-blown? +

Yes. Each drop is formed individually by hand, molten glass shaped by breath and tool rather than cast in a mould. Minor variation in shape, wall thickness and how each drop catches the light is inherent to the process. The finished chandelier closely matches the photographs in overall colour and character, but no two fixtures are identical at the level of individual drops.

What bulbs should I use? +

All configurations use E12 (US candelabra) or E14 (international candelabra) sockets. Recommended: 2–4W LED candelabra bulbs at 2700K warm white per head. Avoid incandescent or halogen bulbs, since cumulative heat output from many heads can stress the glass over time. Bulbs are not included and should be sourced locally.

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.
