FAQ
Which size suits my room? +
The 6-arm (75 cm wide) is for standard dining rooms (8-10 ft tables)and traditional living rooms with 9 ft+ ceilings. The 8-arm (83 cmwide) is a statement piece scaled to grand foyers, double-height entrance halls,formal dining rooms with 12-person+ tables, or any room with 10 ft+ ceilings wherethe fixture needs presence to balance the architecture.
What’s the difference between the two finishes? +
The Full Brass version is all warm cast brass — classical, unified,pairs with traditional palettes and gilt-frame artwork. The Brass + BlackBowl version replaces the central bowl with black aluminum, creatingdramatic contrast that emphasizes the cast scrollwork against the dark recessedfield. Choose Full Brass for classical traditional interiors; choose Brass + Blackfor transitional or French-modern palettes where you want more graphic contrast.
What bulb does it take? +
Each arm takes one E12 (North America) or E14 (EU/UK/AU) candelabrabase bulb — the smaller chandelier socket, not standard E26/E27. Up to 25Wper socket. We recommend warm white (3000K) LED candelabra bulbs in flame-tip shapefor the most period-appropriate glow. The 6-arm version produces ~150W equivalentlight output; the 8-arm produces ~200W equivalent. Bulbs not included.
Will it work on a sloped ceiling? +
The standard mount is for flat ceilings using the included chain-and-canopyassembly. For sloped ceilings, a sloped-ceiling adapter is typically needed (soldseparately by hardware suppliers). The chain-suspended structure adapts well tomoderate slopes once an adapter is installed.
Is it dimmable? +
The fixture itself doesn’t dim, but it becomes fully dimmable when paired withdimmable LED candelabra bulbs and a standard TRIAC wall dimmer (both soldseparately). Dimming this style of chandelier creates a particularly atmosphericeffect — flame-tip bulbs at 30-40% brightness produce a candlelit warmth thatsuits formal dining settings.
