Aetherial 6 Light Crystal Chandelier - Antique Silver

The Aetherial is a 600mm crystal chandelier with six curved arms radiating from a central column, each holding an E14 candle bulb beneath cascading strands of cut crystal droplets. The metal frame is finished in antique silver, a mid-tone grey with darker tarnish detailing that sits between polished chrome and gunmetal. The grey velvet chain cover runs from ceiling rose to canopy, concealing the cable and suspension chain.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and double-height living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Aetherial provides both ambient light and decorative presence. The 500mm body height extends on an adjustable chain, typically hung 700-900mm above a dining table or 2000-2200mm above an entrance hall floor. The six bulbs (sold separately) should be matched for colour temperature to avoid uneven tones across the fitting.

Each crystal droplet is facet-cut to refract light across the surrounding surfaces when the bulbs are lit, creating scattered highlights on walls and ceilings. The antique silver finish shows intentional darker patina in the recesses of the cast metal detailing, giving the frame visual depth rather than a uniform reflective surface. At 600mm diameter the chandelier suits rooms 4m wide or larger without overwhelming the space.

The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor locations. The fitting is dimmable when paired with compatible E14 dimmable bulbs and a trailing-edge dimmer switch. Ideal Lux provides a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the metalwork and crystal assembly.

What bulbs does the Aetherial take?

The chandelier takes six E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to match the antique silver tone. Ensure all six bulbs are the same model to avoid colour temperature mismatches across the fitting.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and connected to a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The metal frame itself does not restrict dimming — compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs and dimmer you choose.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 500mm body height plus adjustable chain typically requires ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. For dining table installation the chandelier sits 700-900mm above the surface, which works in rooms with 2.4m ceilings if the chain is shortened during fitting.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power at the consumer unit before cleaning. Wipe each crystal droplet with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, remove individual crystals (they typically hang on metal hooks) and wash in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, rinse, dry completely and re-hang. Do not spray cleaning products directly onto the metal frame or crystals while assembled.
