Firenze 5 Light Chandelier - White & Gold

The Firenze is a five-arm chandelier combining white-painted resin scrollwork with gold leaf accents across the arms, candle cups and central column. The chandelier measures 550mm in diameter and 410mm in height from the ceiling rose to the base of the central urn, with five candle-style E14 fittings arranged symmetrically around a turned central column. The scrolled arms curve outward from a fluted urn body, with gold detailing applied to the candle cups, urn ridges and decorative finials.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Firenze provides ambient overhead lighting from five independently controlled bulbs. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with compatible E14 LED bulbs and a trailing-edge dimmer, allowing light levels to be adjusted from bright task lighting during meals to softer background light in the evening. The 550mm spread suits rooms of 12-18m² where a centrepiece chandelier is needed without overwhelming the space.

The white and gold finish is achieved through hand-applied paint and gold leaf on a cast resin frame, giving the appearance of carved wood or plaster at a fraction of the weight. The resin construction means the chandelier weighs approximately 2.5kg, making it suitable for standard plasterboard ceilings with a ceiling rose and appropriate fixings. The scrollwork and turned detailing reference 18th-century Italian chandelier design, while the white and gold palette pairs with both classical interiors and contemporary rooms using warm metallics and neutral tones.

The IP20 rating confirms the Firenze is designed for dry indoor use only, not suitable for bathrooms, conservatories or covered outdoor areas. Ideal Lux provides a five-year manufacturer warranty covering material and assembly defects. Each E14 fitting accepts bulbs up to 40W, though most installations use 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to balance light output with the decorative nature of the fitting.

Does the chandelier come with bulbs?

No. The Firenze requires five E14 bulbs sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K or 3000K) to balance light output with the decorative nature of the fitting.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The chandelier itself is dimmable-ready, but dimming performance depends on the bulb and dimmer combination you choose.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 410mm body height plus chain/rod drop means the chandelier works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above. In dining rooms the base of the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface to avoid head clearance issues.

How is the gold finish applied?

The gold detailing is hand-applied gold leaf over the white-painted resin base. This gives the appearance of carved and gilded wood or plaster while keeping the weight low enough for standard ceiling installations.
