Drawing Room 18 Light Chandelier - Walnut

The Drawing Room is an 18-light chandelier built on three tiers of scrolled arms radiating from a central column, finished in walnut with pressed glass bowl shades. The die-cast aluminium frame carries overlapping arches, fluted column details and decorative fretwork inspired by Edwardian British architecture, with each of the 18 arms terminating in an upward-facing E27 socket housed inside a pale amber pressed glass bowl.

Designed for entrance halls, stairwells and dining rooms with ceiling heights of 3.2m or higher, the chandelier measures 1370mm in diameter and 1650mm in height from canopy to base finial. The 3000mm adjustable chain allows the drop to be set anywhere between 1775mm minimum and 4650mm maximum on installation, making it suitable for double-height hallways or grand dining spaces where a substantial centrepiece is needed. Each light takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W, giving a combined maximum of 1080W across all 18 positions (bulbs sold separately).

The walnut finish on the metalwork presents as a mid-tone brown with subtle grain variation, contrasting with the decorative brass-toned banding at each lamp cup and the central column detailing. The pressed glass bowls diffuse light upward and outward, softening direct glare while still providing enough total output to serve as primary lighting in rooms up to 40-50m². The three-tier structure places six lights on the bottom tier, six on the middle, and six on the top, creating a balanced pyramid form that fills vertical space without appearing bottom-heavy.

What ceiling height is needed for this chandelier?

The minimum drop of 1775mm means you need at least 3.2m ceiling height to leave reasonable clearance below. The adjustable 3000mm chain extends the maximum drop to 4650mm, making it suitable for double-height entrance halls and stairwells with ceilings up to 6m.

What bulbs does it take?

Each of the 18 arms takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are not included. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-8W and 2700K for a soft ambient glow that complements the walnut finish and pressed glass bowls.

Is it suitable for a dining room?

Yes, provided the room has sufficient ceiling height and floor area. The 1370mm diameter suits dining tables 2.4-3m long in rooms of at least 5m x 5m. The chandelier should hang 750-900mm above the table surface, which requires a ceiling height of at least 3.2m when accounting for the 1775mm minimum drop.

How much does it weigh?

Feiss does not publish the exact weight for the Drawing Room chandelier in the specification, but a fitting of this size and construction typically weighs 15-20kg. Ensure the ceiling fixing point can support this load and consult a qualified electrician for installation.
