Versailles 9-light gold and crystal pendant light, 55 cm

Two gold crowns and curtains of beads

The gold-finish metal frame consists of two rings cut into battlements, like a crown: the smaller at the top, the wider at mid-height. Between the two, strings of crystal beads form a basket that flares out towards the bottom. Beneath the second crown, a cup of beads tapers inwards and ends in round faceted drops.

Nine E14 light points, dimmable

The 9 E14 lampholders each accept a maximum of 60 W; bulbs are not supplied. Clear LEDs make the crystal sparkle more than frosted glass does. The pendant light works with a dimmer, provided you choose bulbs that are themselves dimmable. IP20 rating: living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway, never a damp room.

Height, chain and fixing

The chandelier body is 74 cm high and the whole piece reaches 132 cm at most, chain included. At 9.2 kg, a hook or bracket screwed into a joist or a concrete slab is better than a simple plasterboard plug. Above a table, leave 65 to 75 cm between the bottom of the drops and the tabletop.
