Description
The Brindle is a 5-light iron chandelier with upward-facing candle-style holders mounted on curved arms that rise from a central circular hub, finished in matt black. Each arm extends outward and upward in a gentle arc, terminating in a candle cup with scroll detailing. The chandelier uses SES (E14) bulbs up to 60W per socket (bulbs sold separately), giving flexibility to choose filament, LED or halogen depending on the light temperature and brightness required.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and sitting rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Brindle hangs from a central chain that conceals the cable run. The 60cm diameter works over dining tables seating 4-6 people and in hallways 2-3m wide, providing ambient light distributed evenly by the five bulbs. The matt black finish absorbs rather than reflects light, keeping the focus on the bulbs themselves and the chandelier's silhouette rather than metallic glare.
The ironwork frame weighs 7.25kg, giving the chandelier physical presence without requiring specialist ceiling fixings — a standard UK ceiling rose and chain hook rated for 10kg or more will support it. The scroll detailing at the arm terminals and crown finial adds classical ornament to the industrial material, making the Brindle suitable for both traditional interiors with wood panelling and exposed beams, and contemporary spaces where a darker accent piece is needed against lighter walls.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Brindle take?
The chandelier uses five SES (E14 small Edison screw) bulbs, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K to mimic traditional candlelight, though filament or halogen bulbs can also be used for a warmer glow.
What size dining table does it suit?
The 60cm diameter works best over dining tables seating 4-6 people, typically 120-180cm in length. The chandelier should hang 700-800mm above the table surface, which requires a ceiling height of approximately 2.7m or more depending on the chain length used.
Is the chain length adjustable?
Yes. The chandelier is supplied with chain that can be shortened during installation to suit the ceiling height and desired drop. The 35cm body height plus chain typically gives a total drop of 80-120cm from ceiling to base of the chandelier.
Can it be fitted to a sloped ceiling?
The chain allows the chandelier to hang vertically even on a sloped ceiling, as long as the ceiling rose is mounted securely. The chain naturally finds vertical regardless of the ceiling angle.
