Liben 6 Light Georgian Strass Crystal Chandelier - Chrome

The Liben is a 6-light Georgian-style crystal chandelier built around a chrome-plated frame with six curved arms, each ending in a candle-style SES bulb fitting. Strass cut-crystal droplets hang from the arms and central column, interspersed with scrollwork and decorative glasswork that follows traditional 18th-century chandelier design principles. The chandelier measures 60cm in diameter and 87cm in height, weighing 9kg once fully assembled with all crystal elements fitted.

Designed for dining rooms with ceilings of 2.7m or above, formal entrance halls, or stairwell voids where the chandelier can be viewed from multiple levels, the Liben provides both ambient light through the six bulbs and decorative presence through the crystal detailing. The chrome finish on the metalwork gives a cooler tone than brass or gold equivalents, pairing cleanly with grey, marble, glass and cool-toned interiors. The chandelier requires six SES bulbs up to 60W each, sold separately — most installations use warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W to replicate the traditional candle aesthetic.

The Strass crystal used throughout the chandelier is precision-cut glass with faceted edges, creating prismatic light refraction when the bulbs are lit. Each droplet is individually wired onto the frame, so spacing and density of crystal may vary slightly between units depending on assembly. The central column features a decorative glass finial at the base, adding weight and visual balance to the overall structure. The 9kg total weight requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or reinforced ceiling rose.

What bulbs does the Liben take?

The chandelier requires six SES (Small Edison Screw, E14 base) bulbs, each rated up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users fit warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K-3000K to replicate the look of traditional candles while reducing energy use.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 87cm drop works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. In dining rooms the chandelier typically hangs 75-85cm above the table surface, which requires a 2.8-3m ceiling. Lower ceilings may accommodate the chandelier if the chain is shortened during installation.

Is the chandelier dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs fitted. LED candle bulbs marked as dimmable will work with most trailing-edge dimmers. Check the bulb packaging before pairing with a dimmer circuit.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power at the mains before cleaning. Each crystal droplet can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works without leaving streaks — avoid chemical sprays or polishes that may damage the chrome or leave residue on the crystal facets.
