The frame supports concentric rings of square-cut crystals at the top and vertical strands of button crystals down the body, creating a layered structure that catches and refracts light from multiple angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for grand living spaces, double-height foyers and stairwells with ceiling heights above 3.5m, the Frances sits 900mm below the ceiling at minimum drop and extends to 2400mm on full chain to accommodate higher ceilings. The 550mm diameter occupies a commanding vertical presence without overwhelming floor space below, making it suitable for entry halls and landings where vertical clearance is abundant but horizontal space is limited. The 14 bulbs are split across two tiers, providing enough light output to function as the primary illumination in a 20-25m² space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach crystal element is precision-cut Asfour crystal, a lead-free glass formulation known for consistent clarity and refractive index across production batches. The polished chrome finish on the frame provides a cool metallic contrast to the warm light diffused through the crystals, pairing well with contemporary, classical and transitional interiors where chrome hardware is already present. At 19.8kg the chandelier requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or reinforced ceiling rose rated for the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Finish 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e550mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2400mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDependent On Lamps Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - Dimmable Lamps Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.8KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does the Frances take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier uses 14 E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each, sold separately.
