Description
A broad ring of clear crystal on polished chrome, held close to the ceiling rather than dropped on a rod or chain. Eight small candle lamps sit within the ring, so the light works its way evenly around the whole 80cm circle instead of gathering in one bright centre. The crystal is clear and cut, which is what gives the fitting its sparkle: the facets throw small points of light onto the ceiling and across nearby walls once the lamps are lit.
This is one we reach for in a hall, on a landing or over a dining table where a chandelier on a drop would hang too far into the room. It suits ceilings of ordinary domestic height, where you want the presence of crystal without losing headroom, and it works equally well in a main bedroom or a sitting room with a good-sized floor area to balance the width. Put dimmable candle lamps in it and you can take the room from bright and social down to something much softer; you will need a dimmer switch on the circuit, as one is not supplied with the fitting.
The frame is finished in polished chrome, bright enough to pick up the crystal beside it, and the crystal itself is clear throughout with no tint. Dust settles on cut glass more than most surfaces, so give the pieces an occasional going-over with a clean lint-free cloth once the lamps are cold, and keep sprays and polishes away from the plating. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the Coniston shapes fairly widely, so if the proportions here are not quite right there are flush versions in smaller and larger diameters, a long linear form for a table or island, and the same designs in French gold and antique brass alongside the chrome. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take?
Eight E14 candle lamps, up to 20W each. We would fit LED candles in the C35 shape, which keep the ring looking neat behind the crystal.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer switch. Neither the lamps nor the dimmer come with the fitting.
How far does it hang down?
The overall height is 340mm, so it sits close to the ceiling and is a sensible choice where a hanging chandelier would be in the way.
What is the crystal like?
Clear cut crystal, untinted, arranged around the full 80cm ring so the sparkle carries all the way round rather than only at the front.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall and let the lamps go cold, then wipe the crystal with a dry lint-free cloth. Avoid glass sprays and abrasive polishes, which can mark the chrome.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No, it is intended for dry rooms only, so keep it to halls, bedrooms and living or dining spaces.
