Varo 6 Light Crystal Chandelier - Gold

The Varo is a 52cm crystal chandelier with a shallow bowl-shaped gold frame surrounded by a densely woven veil of crystal droplets and strands. Six G9 bulb fittings sit within the frame, each supporting up to 33W total load (bulbs sold separately). The crystal arrangement sits around the perimeter of the gold ring, with clear faceted droplets hanging below the frame base to create a graduated cascade effect.

Designed for dining rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.2m, the Varo works as a centrepiece above rectangular or oval dining tables where its 52cm width provides presence without overwhelming the table footprint. The suspension cables are height-adjustable on installation, allowing the fitting to be set 700-900mm above the table surface depending on ceiling height and room proportion. The shallow 21cm body depth suits rooms where a full chandelier would feel too deep or heavy for the space.

The gold finish on the frame is polished rather than brushed, giving it reflective depth that pairs with both traditional brass hardware and contemporary warm-toned metallics. The crystal veil refracts light outward when the bulbs are on, creating a soft pattern across ceiling and walls rather than directing light downward as task lighting. The 4.1kg weight requires a secure ceiling fixing and rose capable of supporting the load plus the leverage of the suspension cables.

The frame structure uses curved gold ribs that radiate from the central mounting point, creating vertical divisions between the six light positions. Each G9 fitting sits recessed slightly within the frame, so the crystal droplets become the primary visual layer when viewing the chandelier from below. The combination of metallic frame and layered crystal gives the Varo a mid-century decorative quality that bridges classical crystal chandelier styling and more restrained modern chandelier forms.

What bulbs does the Varo take?

The fitting takes six G9 capsule bulbs with a maximum combined load of 33W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with 3-4W LED G9 capsules in 2700K-3000K warm white for dining room use.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb choice. LED G9 capsules vary in dimmer performance, so check the bulb specification before pairing with a dimmer switch. Halogen G9s are generally more dimmer-compatible but generate more heat.

What ceiling height is needed?

The suspension cables are adjustable on installation. For dining table use the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The 21cm shallow body depth suits rooms where a deeper chandelier would feel too imposing.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off and allow bulbs to cool completely. Wipe individual crystal droplets with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the metal frame or electrical components and do not use household sprays or chemical cleaners on the crystal.
