What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly celebrate the Sablier Chandelier as a breathtaking sculptural art piece, not just lighting. The dominant theme is its exceptional design, featuring an hourglass silhouette and high quality, robust blown glass. Reviewers consistently call it a showstopper, praising the flawless Italian craftsmanship that justifies its premium positioning for those prioritizing aesthetics. While the visual impact upon illumination is transformative, the high cost tempers the perceived value for some buyers. A secondary point of friction involves installation; due to its size and component fragility, professional setup is frequently required, which can be complex. Despite these logistical hurdles, the final result secures extremely high satisfaction.
Know before you buy
The Sablier is a chain-hung fixture, which allows for some flexibility in height. We recommend consulting with a professional installer to ensure the drop length is properly adjusted to suit your ceiling height and room proportions.
The clear glass provides a crisp, uniform look that emphasizes the chandelier's sculptural silhouette. The Iride and smoke mix offers a more nuanced, moody aesthetic with shifting color reflections that add depth and visual interest to the light.
Yes, the Sablier features integrated G4 LED bulbs. Because these are integrated into the design, you do not need to purchase separate bulbs, and they are engineered to provide the specific warm, ambient glow intended by the designer.
The decentralization kit allows you to mount the pendants in a position that does not align directly with your ceiling junction box. This is ideal if you need to center the chandelier over a dining table or specific focal point that isn't perfectly aligned with your electrical outlet.
With a height of 29.21 inches, this chandelier is best suited for rooms with standard or high ceilings, such as grand dining rooms or entryways. It is designed to make a statement, so it requires enough vertical clearance to hang comfortably without obstructing the space.
The 12-pendant version is ideal for more intimate dining areas or smaller foyers where you want a refined, elegant touch. The 24-pendant configuration provides a much denser, more dramatic visual impact, making it the better choice for large, open-concept spaces or high-ceilinged entryways.
