Armand 8 Light Crystal Chandelier 85cm - Polished Chrome

The Armand is an 85cm crystal chandelier with eight E14 candle-style arms arranged around a central polished chrome column, each arm fitted with a crystal bobeche and chrome candle sleeve. Clear faceted crystal strands hang in arcs between the arms, forming swags and vertical drops that catch and redirect light across the room. The chandelier takes eight E14 bulbs sold separately, each rated up to 60W.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or higher, the Armand provides both ambient and decorative light. The adjustable chain drop ranges from 1155mm minimum to 2605mm maximum, allowing the fitting to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining table or lower in double-height spaces. The 85cm diameter suits rooms 4-5m wide, where the chandelier can serve as the primary light source without overwhelming the space.

The polished chrome frame reflects light sharply, amplifying the brightness of the bulbs and creating contrast against the clear crystal. Each crystal strand is faceted to split light into its spectrum, so the chandelier casts small prisms across walls and ceilings when lit. The combined weight of the metal frame and crystal is 10.5kg, requiring a secure ceiling fixing capable of supporting at least 15kg with safety margin. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.

What bulbs does the Armand take?

The chandelier takes eight E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for a traditional look, or clear filament-style LED bulbs for a more decorative appearance.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself does not include dimming electronics, so both the bulbs and the wall dimmer must support dimming.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop of 1155mm means the chandelier hangs approximately 1.2m below the ceiling rose. For a dining table installation where the chandelier sits 700-800mm above the table surface, a ceiling height of 2.7m or above is needed. The chain can be adjusted during installation to suit different ceiling heights up to the maximum 2605mm drop.

How is the crystal cleaned?

The faceted crystal strands can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth while the chandelier is switched off and cool. For deeper cleaning, individual crystal pieces can be removed from their fixings, washed in warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid, rinsed and dried thoroughly before re-attaching. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the chandelier as liquid can seep into electrical fittings.
