Nardini 9 Light 2 Tier Crystal Chandelier - Chrome & Black Faux Leather

The Nardini is a 9-light two-tier chandelier built on curved polished chrome arms wrapped in black faux leather, with crystal cube accents positioned beneath each lampholder. The fitting measures 650mm in diameter and suspends on an adjustable chain with a drop range from 730mm to 1730mm. Each of the nine arms terminates in an E14 candle socket fitted with a polished chrome sconce plate, and the crystal cubes beneath the lampholders refract light when the chandelier is lit.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and double-height living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Nardini provides both ambient and decorative lighting. The two-tier structure distributes the nine bulbs across upper and lower levels (three on the upper tier, six on the lower), giving wider light coverage than a single-tier arrangement. The 650mm span suits rooms 4-5m wide, sitting comfortably above a dining table or in the centre of a 20-25m² room without dominating smaller adjacent spaces.

The black faux leather wrapped around each arm provides textural contrast against the reflective chrome, and the leather finish reduces glare from the metal while adding grip texture that differentiates the Nardini from all-metal chandeliers. The crystal cubes are faceted to catch and scatter light in multiple directions when candle-style bulbs are fitted. The fitting weighs 6.4kg and requires a ceiling rose rated for the combined weight of the chandelier plus nine bulbs.

The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing output to be adjusted from full brightness for entertaining to a lower ambient level for evening dining. The 1m adjustable drop range on the chain allows the fitting to be set at the appropriate height for the specific ceiling and room use during installation.

What bulbs does the Nardini take?

The chandelier takes nine E14 candle bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm white LED candle bulbs in the 4-6W range at 2700K-3000K for ambient dining room lighting. Flame-tip or clear filament styles work well with the exposed fittings.

Is the chandelier dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and paired with a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier frame itself is dimmer-compatible — bulb choice determines whether dimming works.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum 730mm drop plus the 650mm diameter of the fitting itself means the chandelier hangs approximately 1m from ceiling to lowest point when set to minimum drop. For a dining table, the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. The chain can be shortened during installation to suit lower ceilings.

How is the faux leather maintained?

Wipe the black faux leather arms with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable but avoid soaking the material. The polished chrome can be cleaned with a standard chrome or stainless steel cleaner. The crystal cubes can be wiped with a lint-free cloth and glass cleaner when the chandelier is switched off.
