Description
The Pescara is an 85cm-diameter crystal chandelier with nine E14 candle bulbs arranged on a black chrome scrolled metal frame, hung with 30% lead Asfour crystal droplets and faceted spheres. The black chrome finish gives the frame a deep gunmetal tone that contrasts with the cut crystal, which refracts light in multiple directions when the bulbs are lit.
Designed for double-height entrance halls, large dining rooms and stairwell voids with ceiling heights of 3m or higher, the Pescara has an adjustable drop from 900mm to 1850mm, allowing it to be set at the correct height above a dining table or to fill vertical space in a two-storey hall. The 850mm diameter and 13kg weight require a reinforced ceiling rose or joist fixing — standard plasterboard ceiling roses are not sufficient. The chandelier accepts nine E14 small Edison screw bulbs (sold separately), each rated up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or decorative filament candles.
The Asfour crystal used in the Pescara contains 30% lead oxide, which gives higher refractive index and dispersion than standard glass, producing stronger prismatic effects and colour separation when light passes through. The crystal components include faceted spheres ranging from 20mm to 40mm diameter and cone-shaped prisms that hang on linked chains, creating cascading layers that move slightly when air circulates in the room. The black chrome finish on the scrolled metal arms is applied over a steel base and sealed to resist tarnishing, though it will show fingerprints during installation and should be handled with gloves.
Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb type chosen. LED E14 candles require dimmable-rated LEDs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer; halogen and traditional filament candles dim on most standard leading-edge dimmers. The chandelier is IP20-rated for dry indoor use only and cannot be installed in bathrooms or outdoor covered areas.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Pescara take?
The chandelier takes nine E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED E14 candles between 4-6W and 2700K for a warm glow that complements the crystal and black chrome.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, but dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb type. LED E14 candles must be marked as dimmable and require a compatible trailing-edge dimmer. Halogen and traditional filament E14 candles dim on most standard dimmers.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop ranges from 900mm to 1850mm. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the surface, which suits ceiling heights of 2.7m or higher. For entrance halls or stairwells, ceiling heights of 3.5m or above allow the full drop to be used without the chandelier appearing compressed.
Does it need a reinforced ceiling fixing?
Yes. The chandelier weighs 13kg, which exceeds the safe load for a standard plasterboard ceiling rose. Installation must be into a ceiling joist, a reinforced ceiling plate, or a purpose-made chandelier hook rated for at least 20kg. Professional installation is recommended.
