Libra 6 Light Crystal Chandelier 64cm - Antique Brass

The Libra is a 64cm six-light crystal chandelier built around a central antique brass column with scrolled arms extending to six E14 candle-style fittings. Each arm terminates in a brass candle sleeve sitting above a cut crystal sconce, with crystal bead strings running from the central column and cut crystal droplets hanging from the scrollwork below. The antique brass finish carries visible tonal variation that gives depth to the metalwork under both natural and artificial light.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and formal living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or higher, the Libra provides ambient lighting distributed across six points rather than a single central source. The adjustable drop runs from 890mm to 1890mm on installation, allowing the chandelier to be set 700-900mm above a dining table depending on ceiling height. The 64cm diameter suits tables seating six to eight or entrance halls with a 3-4m floor dimension. The six E14 fittings take candle-style bulbs (sold separately), which can be dimmable LEDs or filament bulbs depending on the desired light quality and energy consumption.

The crystal elements include both faceted sconces beneath each candle fitting and teardrop-shaped pendants hanging from the lower scrollwork, which refract light when the chandelier is lit and provide visual interest when it is not. The antique brass scrollwork follows a traditional form with circular loops and curves radiating from the central stem, giving the chandelier a classical profile that pairs with both period interiors and contemporary rooms seeking a formal accent. The combined weight of brass metalwork and crystal is 4.8kg, requiring ceiling fixings rated for at least 10kg to allow a safety margin.

What bulbs does the Libra take?

The chandelier takes six E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sometimes called SES or candle bulbs. Bulbs are sold separately. Maximum wattage per fitting is 60W, though most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for lower running costs and less heat output.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, if fitted with dimmable bulbs. The chandelier itself has no electronic components that would prevent dimming, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs chosen. LED candle bulbs labelled as dimmable will work with most trailing-edge dimmers.

What ceiling height is required?

The minimum drop of 890mm means the chandelier hangs at least 89cm below the ceiling rose. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 70-90cm above the table surface, so a room with a 2.6m ceiling height can accommodate the Libra at minimum drop over a standard 75cm-high table. Higher ceilings allow the drop to be extended up to 1890mm.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power at the consumer unit before cleaning. Remove dust with a soft dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, crystal droplets can be wiped with a barely-damp cloth and distilled water, then dried immediately. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the chandelier or using household chemical cleaners, which can damage the antique brass finish.
