Chelsie 3 Light Beaded Glass Chandelier - Antique Brass

The Chelsie is a 560mm-diameter 3-light chandelier built around three curved antique brass arms, each ending in a clear beaded glass shade and a faceted glass droplet. The beaded shades are constructed from layers of clear glass beads arranged in a wire cage, creating a compact globe form that diffuses light while preserving the brightness of the G9 bulbs inside. The central column runs vertically through the middle of the chandelier, connecting the ceiling canopy to the three radiating arms.

Designed for dining areas, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Chelsie delivers ambient light through three G9 bulbs (sold separately) rated at up to 33W each. The suspension chain is adjustable from a 530mm minimum drop to 1500mm maximum, allowing the chandelier to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining table or hung lower as a statement piece in a double-height hallway. The antique brass finish shows intentional tonal variation and subtle darkening in recesses, giving the metal a lived-in character that pairs well with traditional, transitional and warm-toned interiors.

Each beaded glass shade measures approximately 120mm in diameter and sits upright on its arm, directing light upwards and outwards through the glass layers. The wire cage structure holding the beads casts a secondary pattern of fine shadows onto surrounding surfaces when the chandelier is lit, adding decorative interest beyond the direct light output. At 2kg total weight, the chandelier fits standard UK ceiling roses without requiring additional structural support. The G9 fittings accept both halogen and LED G9 capsule bulbs, with LED recommended for lower running costs and cooler operation.

What bulbs does the Chelsie take?

The chandelier takes three G9 capsule bulbs, each rated up to 33W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with 3-4W LED G9 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient dining or hallway lighting.

Is the Chelsie dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable G9 bulbs and pair the chandelier with a compatible dimmer switch. LED G9 bulbs vary in dimmer compatibility, so check bulb specifications before purchasing if dimming is required.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 530mm minimum drop plus the 430mm chandelier height means the lowest point sits 960mm below the ceiling rose. For a dining table, position the chandelier 700-900mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The maximum 1500mm drop suits double-height spaces or rooms where a lower statement piece is wanted.

How is the beaded glass cleaned?

The wire cage and glass beads can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth while the chandelier is switched off and cool. For more thorough cleaning, the shades can be removed from the arms (note the wire construction and handle carefully) and washed in warm soapy water, then dried completely before refitting.
