Wrought Iron Crown · Clear Tear-Drop Crystal · Antiqued Patina
A chandelier that shimmers like icicles in the sun — the Fotini suspends layers of clear tear-drop crystals from a curved wrought-iron crown, each prism catching light and scattering it across the room. Topped with a hand-finished antique silver-clay or antique gold patina, it brings refined sparkle to dining tables, foyers, and bedrooms in two scales.

Before You Order — Two Important Notes
Crystal assembly is part of the experience. The chandelier ships with all crystals individually bagged for safe transit. You will hand-attach each crystal using the included small jump rings (similar to tiny keychain rings). Assembly typically takes several hours — please plan time accordingly. Many owners enjoy this final step; the chandelier becomes meaningfully theirs.
Crystal rings — gold by default, silver on request. The Fotini ships with gold-tone jump rings as standard. If you prefer silver-tone rings (for example, to match the Antique Silver finish), please contact us before placing your order so we can arrange the alternative.

Installation
- Hardwired ceiling installation — a licensed electrician is recommended.
- All mounting hardware and a 100 cm / 39.4″ hanging chain are included. Chain length is adjustable on-site.
- Crystals are bagged separately for safe transit — set aside several hours to attach them with the included jump rings before installation. We recommend doing this at a clean table-top with the chandelier on its side, before mounting to the ceiling.
- Confirm the bulb size matches your chosen chandelier: Small uses E27 × 1, Large uses E12 × 3. Buy bulbs accordingly.
- For dining rooms, hang the bottom of the fixture 75–85 cm (30–34″) above the table surface.
FAQ
Why does the chandelier require assembly? +
Crystal chandeliers are extremely fragile when fully assembled — shipping them pre-attached almost guarantees damage. By packing each crystal individually and including the jump rings, we ensure your chandelier arrives in perfect condition. The trade-off is that you'll spend a few hours hand-attaching the crystals before installation. Many owners find this final step rewarding — your chandelier becomes meaningfully your own.
How long does crystal assembly really take? +
For the Small size, expect roughly 2–3 hours of focused work. For the Large size, expect 4–6 hours — there are significantly more crystals to attach. We recommend doing it at a clean table-top, with bright light, and breaking it into two sessions if needed. Don't rush: each ring needs to close fully so the crystal hangs securely.
I want silver crystal rings instead of gold — how do I order? +
Contact us before placing your order. Send a message via our contact form or email — let us know you'd like silver-tone rings, and we'll confirm availability before you check out. We do not offer the option directly at checkout, so this step must happen first. Otherwise, gold-tone rings will be included by default.
Which size should I choose, and what bulbs do I need? +
Small (∅ 27 cm) uses one E27 bulb — best for entryways, breakfast nooks, small bedrooms, or above bedside tables (paired). Large (∅ 53 cm) uses three E12 candelabra bulbs — best for full dining tables, formal entries, or larger living areas. Note: these bulbs are different sizes — make sure you buy the right base for the size you choose.
Are the crystals real cut crystal or acrylic? +
The shades are real cut crystal — clear, faceted, and weighted. They refract light with the optical clarity and prismatic sparkle that acrylic substitutes cannot reproduce. Each tear-drop is hand-faceted, so subtle differences in cut and clarity between crystals are normal.
What does "antique silver clay" finish mean? +
It's a hand-applied finish that gives the wrought iron a slightly weathered, soft-silver patina — not a high-gloss chrome look. The result reads more elegant and aged, suitable for traditional, transitional, and even some modern interiors. Antique Gold has the same hand-finished character in a warm-gold tone.
Is it dimmable? +
Yes — paired with dimmable LED bulbs (E27 or E12 depending on size) and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Fotini dims smoothly. Dimmed crystal light is particularly atmospheric — many owners install on a dimmer for this exact reason.
How do I clean the crystals? +
Switch off the wall power and let the bulbs cool. For light dust, use a soft microfibre cloth or a clean feather duster. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe each crystal with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a 50/50 water-and-isopropyl-alcohol mix — this evaporates cleanly with no residue. Avoid commercial glass sprays directly on the crystals (overspray can affect the iron finish).
What if a crystal breaks or arrives damaged? +
Individual crystals can be replaced. If any crystal is damaged in transit or use, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos and your SKU — we'll arrange a replacement crystal promptly.

Measuring for Pendant Lighting
When installing pendants and chandeliers, it’s important to consider how you want your fixtures to hang in relation to the other furnishings in your space. Read on for our recommendations on how to hang the perfect light.
Kitchen
Aim for 30–36″ from the bottom of your fixture’s shade to the top of your island or countertop. Space multiple pendants 26–30″ apart. For a sense of proportion and balance, allow 12″ from the outermost fixture to the edge of your counter.
Dining Room
For optimal lighting and visibility, the bottom of your pendant should sit 30″ from the surface of your dining table. To scale your fixture, take the length and width of the room in feet, then convert that to inches. For a 10′ by 14′ room, the chandelier should be about 24″ wide.
Bedroom
If you’re hanging a pendant above a nightstand, allow for at least 30″ between the bottom of the shade and your nightstand’s surface. To keep the look balanced, center your pendant over your nightstand.
