Description
The Bonelle is a 5-light chandelier built around a central turned column and orb base, both finished in hand-painted matte grey. Five curved metal arms extend from the central column, each ending in a candle-style SES (E14) bulb holder. The 60cm diameter and 51cm drop give the chandelier presence over a dining table or in a hallway without overwhelming rooms with standard 2.4m ceiling heights.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with central ceiling roses, the Bonelle pairs traditional chandelier form with a contemporary grey finish that sits comfortably in both period and modern interiors. The five arms are symmetrically spaced, creating balanced light distribution across a table surface or floor area below. Each arm accepts a 60W maximum SES bulb (sold separately), allowing choice between LED filament, candle, or traditional incandescent bulbs depending on the light quality and warmth required.
The hand-painted grey finish is applied over metal, giving a soft matte surface that avoids the reflective glare of polished or chrome chandeliers. The turned central column and spherical base echo classical Dutch and Flemish chandelier designs from the 17th and 18th centuries, adapted here with a simplified profile and modern colour palette. At 2.63kg the chandelier requires a ceiling rose rated for the combined weight of the fitting and five bulbs, plus chain.

Frequently Asked
What bulb type does the Bonelle take?
The chandelier takes five SES (E14 small Edison screw) bulbs, each rated up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for a traditional look without the heat output of incandescent bulbs.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 51cm drop from ceiling to base works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. For dining tables, the chandelier typically sits 750-850mm above the table surface, which requires a ceiling height of approximately 2.6m once table height and chain length are accounted for.
Is the grey finish durable?
The hand-painted finish is applied over metal and cured during manufacture. It resists everyday handling during installation and bulb changes, but like all painted metal it can be marked by impact or abrasion. Clean with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid household sprays or solvents.
Can the chain length be adjusted?
Yes. The chandelier is supplied with chain that can be shortened during installation to suit the room height and desired drop above a table or floor. Once cut, chain cannot be re-lengthened without sourcing additional matching chain.
