Aegean 8 Light Chandelier - Polished Brass

The Aegean is an 8-light chandelier built on a hand-forged polished brass frame with eight curved arms radiating from a central cage structure, each topped with a cut glass drip tray and E14 candle bulb holder. The central cage features scrollwork detailing and a lower finial, with cut glass droplets suspended beneath each bulb position. The polished brass finish reflects ambient light and amplifies the sparkle from the glass elements when the fitting is lit.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and formal living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.5m or above, the Aegean provides direct upward and outward light from eight individual bulbs (sold separately). The 650mm diameter suits rooms of 15-20 square metres where a single central pendant provides the primary lighting. The chain-suspended fitting allows drop adjustment between 550mm and 1810mm, giving flexibility to position the chandelier 750-900mm above a dining table or at higher elevations in double-height entrance halls.

The hand-forged brass frame gives each Aegean chandelier slight variation in the curve of the arms and the depth of the scrollwork detailing. The polished finish shows fingerprints and will patina over time unless periodically cleaned, developing a warmer tone as the brass oxidises. The cut glass droplets are faceted to catch and refract light when the bulbs are on, creating moving reflections on nearby walls and ceilings. At 460mm height before suspension, the fitting has substantial visual presence without overwhelming smaller dining rooms.

What bulbs does the Aegean take?

The chandelier takes eight E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most installations use 4-6W warm white LED candle bulbs at 2700K to mimic traditional candle lighting while keeping energy consumption low.

What ceiling height is needed?

The adjustable drop between 550mm and 1810mm allows the chandelier to suit ceiling heights from 2.5m upwards. For a dining table, the fitting typically sits 750-900mm above the table surface, which requires a ceiling height of approximately 2.6-2.8m after accounting for the 460mm body height.

Is the Aegean dimmable?

Dimming depends on the bulbs used and the dimmer switch fitted. LED candle bulbs must be rated as dimmable and paired with an LED-compatible dimmer. Check bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before purchase.

How is the polished brass maintained?

Polished brass will patina and develop a warmer, darker tone over time through natural oxidation. To retain the bright polished finish, clean periodically with a soft cloth and brass cleaner. Fingerprints show easily on polished brass, so handle the frame by the chain during bulb changes.
