Bastien Chandelier

Crystal chandelier in a cascading shape with candle arms and pendants: this baroque model spreads its pendants and candle arms over 135 cm in diameter. In gold or silver, it is made for large rooms with high ceilings and joins our selection of chandeliers.

What kind of light does a cascading crystal chandelier give?

Crystal does more than light a room: it breaks the light into reflections that move across the walls and ceiling. A crystal chandelier like this one is judged as much when switched off as when lit, like most crystal chandeliers.

• All sockets are E14, to be fitted with warm-toned bulbs.
• It is better to multiply the light points than to increase the wattage.
• Switched off, it keeps its decor of white candles and oval drops.

Which room should a chandelier 135 cm in diameter go in?

With 135 cm in diameter and 190 cm in height, this model is made for large volumes, where a standard light would look lost. It joins the baroque-style chandeliers, designed for high ceilings.

• Double-height entrance hall, cathedral living room or mezzanine.
• Stairwell, as a focal point for the eye.
• Measure the available height before fixing the anchor point.
• IP20 rating: dry rooms only, 2-year warranty and CE certification.

How do you match a gold or silver chandelier to your decor?

The two finishes on offer, gold and silver, do not play the same card: gold warms woodwork and cream tones, as in the gold chandeliers. Silver goes with greys and mirrors, in more contemporary interiors.

• A gold chandelier for period decor and ornate ceilings.
• Silver for contemporary interiors and bright rooms.
• Pick up the metal of the handles or the mirror, without multiplying everything.
• Same dimensions and same E14 base in both finishes.

Chandelier or crystal pendant light: how to choose?

A chandelier is recognisable by its radiating arms and candles, a pendant light by a single source, shade or globe. This one is indeed a crystal pendant chandelier, as explained in our guide to telling a chandelier apart from a pendant light.

• Choose the chandelier when the room is tall and the volume large.
• Choose the pendant light when the ceiling is low or the space narrow.
