Description

The Chawton is a medium-size picture light built from solid brass with a polished brass finish, designed to mount directly above a framed painting or print. The light head projects approximately 36cm from the wall on a fixed arm with adjustable knuckle joints at both the backplate and the head, allowing the beam angle to be tilted to suit different frame heights and artwork positions.

Designed for installation above traditional oils, watercolours, prints and family portraits in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and private galleries, the Chawton directs light downward onto the artwork surface without causing glare or reflection on the glass or varnish. The backplate fixes to the wall via two hidden screws, with the cable typically concealed within the wall cavity or run down behind the frame to a nearby socket.

The polished brass construction develops a natural patina over time in environments with humidity variation, which can be retained for an aged appearance or polished back to a high shine using a soft cloth and brass cleaner. The light head accommodates a single bulb (sold separately) — most users fit a small E14 or E27 LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) to minimise heat output near the artwork while providing sufficient illumination for evening viewing. The medium size suits frames between 60cm and 90cm wide.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does it take?

The Chawton typically takes an E14 or E27 bulb depending on the specific fitting variant. Check the Specification table for the exact lamp socket type. Most users pair it with a 4-6W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) to minimise heat near the artwork.

Can the light be angled?

Yes. The Chawton has adjustable knuckle joints at both the backplate and the head, allowing the beam angle to be tilted to suit different frame heights and artwork positions.

What frame size does the medium version suit?

The medium Chawton suits frames between 60cm and 90cm wide. For smaller frames, consider a shorter picture light; for larger frames above 100cm, a longer version is typically needed.

How is it wired?

The backplate conceals two fixing screws and an entry point for the cable. The cable is typically run within the wall cavity from a nearby socket or switched fused spur, or alternatively run down behind the frame if the wall cannot be chased.
