If you need to connect two separate chandeliers to a two-gang switch, then you need a phase from the wiring (one conductor) and two phase conductors - one wire that comes from each chandelier. The neutral conductor must go directly to each chandelier.
Because in your case, the switches are nearby, there should not be any difficulties. It is necessary to leave the phase wire from the wiring in the installation box in which the two-key switch will be installed. Each chandelier should be approached by a neutral conductor directly from the wiring, nothing needs to be changed. A phase conductor should go from each chandelier, these two conductors must be brought into the installation box and connected to the two-gang switch. In the installation box where the second switch was installed, the unnecessary phase from the wiring must be isolated or, if possible, disconnected in the place from which it was powered.
