Description
The Torino is a 74cm crystal chandelier built around a French gold spiral frame carrying eight E14 candle bulb fittings, each draped with Asfour crystal droplets and beads. The frame curves upward from a central column into scrolled arms that support the bulb holders, with octagonal crystal strands hanging between each arm and a central droplet suspended below the frame.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.8m or above, the Torino requires vertical clearance to accommodate its 940mm minimum drop and 740mm diameter. The adjustable chain allows the chandelier to hang anywhere between 940mm and 2390mm below the ceiling rose, making it suitable for double-height spaces, galleried landings and period properties with high ceilings. The 7kg weight requires a ceiling rose and fixing rated for the load.
The French gold finish is a warm-toned metallic coating applied to the metal frame, sitting between polished brass and antique brass in colour temperature. Each of the eight arms carries Asfour-cut crystals — a machine-cut lead crystal from Egypt known for high clarity and consistent faceting. The crystals are strung on thin wire as beads and suspended individually as droplets, catching and scattering light from the eight bulbs when lit. The chandelier ships without bulbs or shades, though the image shows it fitted with pleated fabric shades (IL30500, sold separately).
The E14 small Edison screw fittings accept candle-shaped bulbs up to 60W each, though most installations use 4-6W LED candle bulbs at 2700K for a warm white light that complements the gold frame. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Installation requires competent electrical work — the chandelier connects to a standard UK ceiling rose but the weight, crystal assembly and chain adjustment mean this is not a DIY fitting for most users.

Frequently Asked
What ceiling height is needed for the Torino?
The minimum drop of 940mm plus the 740mm diameter means you need at least 2.8m ceiling height to avoid the chandelier hanging too low. The adjustable chain extends to 2390mm, making it suitable for double-height entrance halls and galleried spaces.
Does it come with bulbs or shades?
No. The chandelier requires eight E14 candle bulbs (sold separately). The image shows it fitted with pleated fabric clip-on shades (IL30500), which are also sold separately. Most users fit LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself has no electronics — dimming is controlled by the bulb type and the wall dimmer.
How is the crystal cleaned?
Switch off the power at the mains. Wipe each crystal droplet and bead individually with a dry microfibre cloth. For heavier dust, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works, but avoid soaking the crystals or getting water into the bulb holders. Do not use spray cleaners or polishes on Asfour crystal.
