Clarissa 6 Light Chandelier - Firenze Gold

The Clarissa is a 6-light chandelier built around a turned central column finished in Firenze Gold, with six curved square-section arms radiating outwards from a spun body. Each arm carries a burnt copper fabric shade over an E14 candle fitting (bulbs sold separately), and champagne-plated glass beads cascade from the central column and swing from individual arms, adding weight and shimmer when the fixture is lit.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and larger living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.8m or above, the Clarissa combines traditional chandelier structure with warmer metal tones than polished brass or chrome. The 800mm width suits rooms of 4-5m floor dimension, and the 970mm minimum drop positions the lowest point of the beaded detail approximately 1.9m above floor level when hung from a standard 2.4m ceiling. The height is adjustable on installation using the supplied chain, giving a maximum drop of 2495mm for higher ceilings or stairwells.

The Firenze Gold finish is a warmer, aged tone compared to polished brass, with subtle tonal variation across the metalwork that softens reflections under daylight and candlelight. The burnt copper fabric shades diffuse the light from the six E14 bulbs (each rated up to 60W), while the champagne glass beads reflect and scatter light through the room. The combination of fabric shading and glass detailing balances ambient and decorative function, providing enough light for a dining table while maintaining the fixture as the visual focus of the ceiling plane.

The square-section arms are bent along their edge rather than flat-bent, which gives each arm a three-dimensional curve when viewed from below. This structural detail, combined with the turned spindle forms of the central column, references classical chandelier design without copying period styles directly. The glass beads are individually strung on wire and terminate in faceted glass droplets, adding movement to the fixture when air circulates in the room.

What bulbs does the Clarissa take?

The chandelier uses six E14 (small Edison screw) candle 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-3000K for ambient dining room lighting.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop of 970mm means the lowest glass bead detail sits approximately 1.9m above floor level when hung from a standard 2.4m ceiling. Rooms with ceiling heights of 2.8m or above provide better visual proportion and clearance beneath the fixture.

Is the drop height adjustable after installation?

The height is adjustable during installation using the supplied chain. Once fitted and wired, the chain length is fixed until the chandelier is taken down and re-hung. The specification allows adjustment between 970mm and 2495mm drop.

What room size does the 800mm width suit?

An 800mm chandelier width works well in rooms with floor dimensions of 4-5m square. For dining tables, the chandelier should be approximately two-thirds the width of the table surface — this fixture suits tables between 1200mm and 1600mm in length.
