Chandelier | Velvetta

This baroque crystal chandelier, shaped like a cascade with hanging pendants, hangs above a table and catches the light in its curved arms. Two finishes are available, gold or silver, as in the rest of our chandelier range.

What kind of light does this crystal chandelier give above a table?

When lit, the bulbs pass through the crystal and send it back in glints rather than in an even sheet. The table is lit without glare at plate level; when switched off, the crystal chandelier lets its pendants become the decorative pattern, as on other crystal chandeliers.

• the crystal diffuses light in glints, not in an even sheet
• hanging mount, CE certified, 2-year warranty
• IP20: dry rooms only, not outdoors
• usual advice: bottom of the fixture 70 to 80 cm above the tabletop

Where to hang a baroque chandelier in the home?

Its cascading shape suits high ceilings and large surfaces to dress, like many baroque models. The manufacturer intends it for a workshop, but this hanging chandelier also works above a table, to compare with the Industrial chandelier with radiating arms and opal tubes.

• above a round or rectangular table
• in a living room, if the height allows
• in a large volume
• away from damp rooms, as the fixture is not waterproof

Gold or silver: how to match this chandelier to the room?

A gold chandelier warms woodwork, beige curtains and vintage rugs. Silver matches cooler walls and stainless steel worktops better; for a lighter gold, see the 9-head gold and white globe pendant light.

• only two finishes: gold or silver
• keep the room's other metals in the same family
• crystal reflects the wall colour: a light wall makes it shine
• very colourful room: see the silver-coloured chandeliers instead

How to care for crystal without tarnishing it?

Regular, gentle dusting is better than a rare deep clean: a soft cloth or a soft brush is enough to preserve the shine. An abrasive product tarnishes it, and the full method is in our guide to caring for a crystal chandelier.

• dust often, with a soft cloth or soft brush
• lukewarm slightly soapy water, then dry immediately
• never an abrasive sponge or harsh product
• work on a switched-off, cooled fixture
