Description
The Coniston is an 80cm diameter crystal chandelier built around an antique brass frame carrying 16 individual E14 bulb positions. Clear faceted crystal droplets cascade from the brass structure in concentric layers, creating a spherical profile that diffuses light in all directions when lit. The adjustable chain allows the drop to be set between 1020mm and 2430mm on installation, making the chandelier suitable for ceiling heights from 2.7m to 4.5m.
Designed for large dining rooms, double-height entrance halls and drawing rooms, the Coniston requires a ceiling rose capable of supporting 46kg and a ceiling joist or reinforced fixing point. The 800mm diameter sits proportionally above dining tables 1800-2400mm long or in open-plan reception spaces where a central decorative anchor is needed. The antique brass finish provides a warmer, less reflective metallic tone than polished brass, pairing well with both traditional interiors and contemporary rooms with warm-toned materials.
Each of the 16 light positions takes a small E14 candle bulb up to 20W (sold separately). Using 16 warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W each gives approximately 900-1400 lumens total output, sufficient for ambient lighting in rooms up to 25m². The crystals are precision-cut to refract light across walls and ceilings, producing characteristic chandelier sparkle when bulbs are dimmed in the evening. The chandelier is dimmable provided compatible dimmable LED bulbs are fitted.
The antique brass frame shows intentional patina and darker tonal variation across its surface, giving the metal an aged appearance that contrasts with the clear crystal. This finish works particularly well in period properties, country house settings and rooms with antique or reclaimed furniture. The 46kg weight includes the full crystal dress, so professional installation is recommended to ensure the ceiling fixing can safely support the load.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Coniston take?
The chandelier takes 16 E14 small Edison screw candle bulbs, each up to 20W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K for a warm ambient glow.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable LED bulbs and pair them with a compatible trailing-edge LED dimmer. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if connected to a dimmer circuit.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable chain allows drops from 1020mm to 2430mm. For a typical dining room or hallway, ceiling heights of 2.7m to 4.5m work well. Higher ceilings allow the chandelier to be suspended lower into the room for greater visual impact.
How is the 46kg weight supported?
The chandelier must be fixed to a ceiling joist or a reinforced fixing point capable of safely supporting 46kg. A standard plasterboard ceiling rose alone is insufficient. Professional installation is recommended to confirm the ceiling structure can carry the load.
