Coniston 1 Light Crystal Pendant Light - Antique Brass

The Coniston is a 170mm crystal pendant light built around a tiered antique brass frame from which multiple layers of faceted crystal drops cascade in overlapping rings. A single E27 bulb fitting sits at the centre of the structure, casting light through the crystal layers to create refracted patterns on surrounding surfaces. The antique brass frame shows a deliberately aged patina that contrasts with the clarity of the cut crystal.

Designed for intimate dining spaces, hallway pendants, and bedroom task lighting, the Coniston works where ceiling height allows for a drop between 340mm and 1270mm. The compact 170mm diameter suits smaller tables, side-of-bed positions, and entrance halls where a larger pendant would overwhelm the space. The chain is adjustable on installation, allowing the pendant to be set 600-800mm above a small dining table or console surface depending on ceiling height. The antique brass canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses.

Each tier of crystal drops is hand-positioned during assembly, creating a consistent rhythm around the central bulb. The faceted edges of the individual crystals catch and refract light at different angles depending on viewing position, so the pendant presents differently from across a room versus close up. The antique brass finish shows deliberate tarnishing and darker tones in recessed areas, giving it a lived-in character that pairs well with period properties, traditional interiors, and warm-toned contemporary schemes that use brass as an accent metal. At 1.7kg the pendant has enough mass to hang steady on the chain without swaying under air movement from opening doors or windows.

What bulb does the Coniston take?

The pendant takes a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 20W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-6W and 2200K-2700K to complement the antique brass tone and enhance the crystal refraction.

Is the Coniston dimmable?

Yes, provided you use a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself has no electronic components — dimming is controlled by the bulb and dimmer pairing.

What drop height works best?

The chain is adjustable between 340mm and 1270mm on installation. For a small dining table or console, 600-800mm above the surface works well. For hallway or bedroom use, set the drop so the bottom of the pendant clears head height by at least 200mm.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off and allow the bulb to cool fully. Wipe each crystal drop with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and dry immediately. Avoid sprays, polishes or soaking the crystals, as moisture can enter the metal fittings and cause tarnishing.
