Description
The Acanto is an 84cm diameter chandelier with nine curved polished chrome arms radiating from a central sculpted column, each arm supporting a clear crystal pan beneath a black silk clip-on shade. The fitting takes nine E14 candle bulbs (sold separately) and the drop is adjustable between 940mm and 1690mm on installation, allowing the chandelier to be tailored to ceiling heights between 2.6m and 3.4m.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms where ceiling space allows for an 84cm spread, the Acanto combines traditional chandelier architecture with contemporary material choices. The polished chrome finish reflects ambient daylight and contrasts with the black fabric shades, which soften the direct light output from the bulbs while allowing warm light to escape downward and through the shade apertures. The crystal pans below each shade refract light across the room when the chandelier is lit.
The nine-arm configuration distributes light evenly across a 2.5-3.5m diameter area, making the fitting suitable for dining tables seating 8-10 people or central positions in entrance halls measuring 4m x 4m or larger. Each crystal pan is faceted to catch and scatter light, and the curved arm geometry gives the chandelier visual movement without overwhelming the space. The 8.5kg weight requires secure ceiling fixings rated for chandelier installation.
The black silk shades clip onto each bulb holder, allowing them to be removed for cleaning or replaced if worn. Mantra manufactures the Acanto in Spain, and the fitting carries a 1-year warranty. Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb choice — pair with dimmable E14 LED candle bulbs for full dimming capability on a compatible trailing-edge dimmer.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Acanto take?
The chandelier takes nine E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. Most users choose warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a warm ambient light that suits dining and living rooms.
Is the Acanto dimmable?
Yes, provided you pair it with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail on a dimmer circuit.
What ceiling height is needed?
The drop is adjustable between 940mm and 1690mm. For a dining table the chandelier typically hangs 700-900mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights from 2.6m upward. Lower ceilings can accommodate the minimum 940mm drop if the chandelier is set higher above the table.
Can the black shades be removed?
Yes. The silk shades clip onto each bulb holder and can be removed for cleaning, bulb changes, or replacement if worn over time.
