Arabella 3 Light Drum Pendant - Gold Quatrefoil Frame With Ivory Fabric Shade

The Arabella is a 533mm drum pendant light built around a pierced gold metal frame with a repeating quatrefoil pattern, an inner ivory linen fabric shade, and a white glass diffuser at the base. Three E27 bulb holders inside the drum provide downward and diffused light through both the fabric and the glass. The pendant hangs from a gold rod on a matching canopy, with a drop adjustable between 343mm and 1321mm on installation.

Designed for dining rooms, hallway positions and living rooms with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.5m, the Arabella offers dual-mount flexibility. The rod can be shortened or removed entirely to convert the pendant into a semi-flush ceiling light sitting 203mm from the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms where a long drop would obstruct circulation or sightlines. The gold finish on the outer frame casts patterned shadows onto surrounding walls when lit, adding decorative interest beyond direct illumination.

The quatrefoil metalwork is finished in a textured gold that shows slight tonal variation across the surface, avoiding the flat uniformity of plated brass. The ivory linen shade inside the frame softens the light from the three bulbs and prevents glare when the pendant is viewed from below, while the glass diffuser directs the majority of light downwards onto a table or floor surface. The combined weight of the metal frame, fabric drum and glass keeps the pendant stable once hung, with minimal movement from air circulation.

The Arabella accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving control over colour temperature and brightness. Pairing the fitting with three warm-white LEDs at 2700K-3000K reinforces the gold tones in the metalwork and complements traditional and transitional interiors, while cooler LEDs at 4000K suit more contemporary settings.

What bulbs does it take?

The Arabella takes three E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W at 2700K-3000K to complement the gold finish and ivory shade.

Can it be fitted to low ceilings?

Yes. The rod can be shortened or removed entirely on installation, converting the pendant into a semi-flush ceiling light with a 203mm projection from the ceiling. This suits rooms with ceiling heights below 2.4m where a longer drop would obstruct headroom.

What ceiling height works best for the pendant configuration?

For dining table positions, the pendant typically hangs 700-800mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The maximum 1321mm drop suits higher ceilings up to 3.5m, particularly in entrance halls or double-height spaces.

Is the fabric shade removable for cleaning?

The ivory linen shade sits inside the gold quatrefoil frame and can be accessed by removing the glass diffuser from the base. Dust the fabric with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid water on the linen as it may stain or shrink.
