Description
The Santo is a 66cm six-light crystal chandelier built around a polished chrome frame with six curved arms, each filled with threaded Asfour crystal beads that run along the metal from base to candle cup. A central twisting column wrapped in strands of crystal spheres rises from a chrome hub and terminates in a polished crystal ball drop beneath the main body. Each of the six E14 lampholders sits on a clear crystal pan that acts as both drip tray and additional reflective surface.
Designed for dining rooms, reception halls and living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Santo provides ambient and decorative light through six candle-style bulbs (sold separately, max 60W each). The adjustable drop ranges from 540mm minimum to 1740mm maximum, allowing the chandelier to be set at the correct height above a dining table (typically 750-850mm clearance) or lowered for double-height spaces. The 66cm diameter suits tables of 1.4-1.8m length and rooms with floor areas of 15-25m².
The crystal beads are Asfour-grade optical crystal, cut and polished to maximise refraction. When lit, the beads scatter light across the chrome arms and into the room, creating the dispersed sparkle characteristic of traditional crystal chandeliers. The polished chrome finish reflects light cleanly without the warmer patina of brass, making the Santo pair well with contemporary grey-toned interiors, monochrome schemes and spaces where cooler metal accents dominate. At 5.8kg, the chandelier requires secure fixing to a joist or ceiling rose rated for the weight.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Santo take?
The chandelier uses six E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Maximum wattage per bulb is 60W. Most buyers pair this with 4-6W warm white LED candle bulbs at 2700K for a traditional warm glow without excessive brightness.
Is the Santo dimmable?
Yes, provided dimmable bulbs are fitted. The chandelier itself has no integrated electronics. Dimming is controlled by a wall dimmer switch compatible with the bulb type chosen (LED bulbs require an LED-compatible dimmer).
What ceiling height is needed?
The minimum drop of 540mm plus the 66cm diameter body means the chandelier requires a ceiling height of at least 2.6m to allow clearance above head height in a typical room. For dining tables, the chandelier is typically hung 750-850mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with 2.6-2.8m ceilings.
How is the crystal cleaned?
Switch off at the mains and allow bulbs to cool. Wipe each crystal bead and the chrome frame with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works, but avoid soaking the metal or allowing water to enter the lampholders. Do not use household sprays or polishes on Asfour crystal.
