il Sabatini in effetti dà : "lampadario (pendente) a corona"
http://dizionari.corriere.it/dizionario_inglese/Inglese/C/ch...

però la definizione inglese parla di "arms" o "branches", anche qui:
"A branched, decorative lighting fixture that holds a number of bulbs or candles and is suspended from a ceiling."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/chandelier

In ogni caso se guardi le immagini
http://www.google.it/images?um=1&hl=it&client=firefox-a&rls=...
ne trovi di varie forme, ma sempre "bracci" hanno.

Attendiamo conferme o smentite.
