Firenze 8 Light Chandelier - Antique Brass

The Firenze is an 8-light chandelier cast in resin to mimic carved wood and antique brass metalwork, with a central turned column, scrolled arms and flame-shaped candle tubes. The 640mm diameter frame holds eight E14 bulb fittings arranged in two tiers around the column, each arm terminating in a brass-effect candle cup. The resin construction keeps the weight manageable for ceiling installation while replicating the visual detail of traditional metalwork.

Designed for dining rooms, hallways and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Firenze suits period properties, country house interiors and formal dining settings where a chandelier acts as the primary light source. The 420mm body height plus chain drop positions the lower tier of candle flames approximately 600-700mm below the ceiling rose in a typical installation. The eight E14 fittings accept candle-shaped LED bulbs between 4-6W each for ambient light, or higher-wattage filament bulbs for brighter task lighting over a dining table.

The antique brass finish on the resin gives a weathered, aged appearance with tonal variation across the scrollwork and turned column. The carved detailing on the central finial and body mimics 18th-century Italian wood-turning, while the scrolled arms echo Florentine metalwork traditions. The IP20 rating limits the Firenze to dry interior locations only. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with compatible E14 dimmable bulbs and an appropriate dimmer switch on the lighting circuit.

What bulbs does the Firenze take?

The chandelier takes eight E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Candle-shaped LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K work well for ambient dining light. Higher-wattage filament bulbs can be used for brighter task lighting, but check the maximum wattage per fitting in the installation guide.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, but dimmer compatibility depends on both the bulbs and the dimmer switch. Use dimmable E14 LED bulbs and pair with a trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer on the lighting circuit. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if a dimmer is used.

Is the chandelier made from metal?

No. The Firenze is cast in resin with an antique brass-effect finish applied over the surface. The resin construction reduces weight compared to solid brass while allowing the intricate carved and turned detailing to be moulded rather than hand-fabricated.

What room size does it suit?

The 640mm diameter works in dining rooms and living rooms from approximately 4m x 4m upwards. Smaller rooms may find the chandelier visually dominant, while very large rooms above 6m x 6m may need additional ambient lighting to supplement the eight candle bulbs.
