Wheeling or dealing for a branched chandelier? (9)

I believe the answer is:

girandole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a branched chandelier?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wheeling or dealing' is the wordplay.
'or dealing' anagrams to 'GIRANDOLE'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for girandole that I've seen before include "a number of mines linked together" , "firework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
