The chandelier forms a basket shape that narrows at the top crown and flares gently outward at the mid-section before tapering toward the base, creating a three-tier silhouette 40cm in diameter and 62cm in total drop. Eight BC (B22 bayonet cap) bulb fittings sit inside the upper tier behind the crystal strands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for entrance halls, stairwells and formal dining rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Rhine needs vertical space to carry its proportions without overwhelming the room. The chandelier hangs on a gold-plated chain that conceals the cable run, and the 62cm body drop sits best when there is at least 2.1m clearance beneath the lowest crystal point. The basket form directs light upward through the crown and outward through the mid-tier, with the crystal strands scattering refracted light across walls and ceilings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold plating on the brass frame gives a warm metallic tone that reads more antique than polished modern gold, pairing with traditional and period interiors rather than contemporary minimalism. Each crystal strand is strung with hand-cut Strass lead crystal beads and prisms, which catch and refract light more intensely than standard acrylic or glass crystal. The 6kg total weight gives the chandelier physical presence and requires a ceiling fixing rated for the load plus bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Lights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6KG\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 Rhine take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier takes eight BC (B22 bayonet cap) bulbs, each rated up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K to mimic traditional incandescent filament glow without the heat load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ceiling height is needed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 62cm body drop means the chandelier needs at least 2.7m ceiling height to maintain 2.1m clearance beneath the lowest crystal point. Taller entrance halls and stairwells with 3-4m ceiling heights suit the chandelier's vertical proportions better than standard 2.4m rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the chain length adjustable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The chain can be shortened during installation to suit the specific ceiling height. The cable is threaded through the chain links and can be adjusted before final wiring to the ceiling rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the crystal cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrass lead crystal attracts dust over time. Switch off at the mains and allow bulbs to cool completely. Wipe each crystal strand gently with a dry microfibre cloth, working from the top tier downward. For deeper cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the metal frame or letting water pool in the sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51513751470347,"sku":"ST00224\/40\/08\/G","price":933.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/ST00224-40-08-G_5548ecac-490e-4c47-9305-d2be5a9e4953.jpg?v=1748622661","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/rhine-8-light-crystal-chandelier-gold-plated-strass","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
