Description
The Andrea is a 1000mm-diameter 8-light chandelier built on a framework of curved antique brass arms that radiate from a central column, each arm terminating in an E14 bulb fitting covered by a cream fabric shade. Opal crystal droplets hang beneath each arm on short lengths of brass chain, catching and reflecting light from the shades above.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Andrea provides ambient lighting across a 3-4m floor area when fitted with warm-white E14 bulbs (sold separately). The adjustable drop ranges from 800mm minimum to 2000mm maximum, allowing the chandelier to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining table or lowered to suit double-height spaces. The brass canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses and the chain conceals the cable run.
The antique brass finish shows visible tonal variation and darker patina in the recesses of the metalwork, giving the frame a lived-in appearance that suits traditional, transitional and eclectic interiors. The cream shades diffuse light evenly without glare, while the opal crystal droplets add small points of reflected brightness without dominating the overall effect. At 7.7kg the chandelier requires secure ceiling fixing — check joist positions or use a ceiling spreader plate before installation.
The Andrea is part of Mantra's decorative lighting collection and shares the same curved-arm design language with other pieces in the range. The E14 fittings accept candle-style LED, halogen or filament bulbs, allowing flexibility in light output and colour temperature depending on room use.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Andrea take?
The chandelier takes eight E14 candle-style bulbs, sold separately. Most users fit warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or living room lighting. Total wattage depends on the bulbs chosen.
Is the Andrea dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable bulbs and pair the chandelier with a compatible dimmer switch. LED bulbs require LED-rated dimmers — older incandescent dimmers may cause flickering or buzzing with LED lamps.
What ceiling height is needed?
The minimum 800mm drop plus the 1000mm diameter means the Andrea suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. For dining tables, position the chandelier 700-900mm above the table surface, which typically requires a 2.4m ceiling minimum when using the shortest chain setting.
Can the crystal droplets be removed?
The opal crystal droplets hang on short brass chains and can be unclipped if you prefer a simpler look without the decorative crystals. This does not affect the chandelier's function — it only changes the visual appearance.
