Frequently Asked Questions
How many arms does it carry?
A full ring around the central column, which is what gives it even coverage across a dining table. The arms are spaced so the light overlaps rather than leaving gaps.
What bulbs should I fit?
Candle style bulbs in warm white, all matching, and dimmable if you can. Mismatched bulbs are the fastest way to spoil a chandelier like this one.
Will it suit a modern dining room?
It does, because the frame is much cleaner than a traditional candelabra. Against a plain wall and a simple table it reads as a considered contrast rather than a period piece.
How high above the table?
Thirty to thirty four inches from the tabletop. High enough to see across, low enough that the arms sit in view and do their job as decoration.
Do the cups collect dust?
A little over a year. Wipe each cup and arm with a dry soft cloth annually and the brass keeps its even warm tone without any polish.
