Flavia 4 Light Telescopic Chandelier - Antique Brass 54cm

The Flavia is a 54cm four-light chandelier with telescopic arms extending from a central stem, finished in antique brass with frosted and clear layered glass shades. Each arm holds a G9 bulb fitting inside a dual-layer glass shade that combines a frosted inner diffuser with a clear outer shell, softening the direct glare while allowing warm light to pass through. The antique brass finish has a semi-matt, aged patina rather than a high polish, giving the metalwork a depth that pairs well with both traditional and transitional interiors.

Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and entrance halls with standard to high ceilings, the Flavia can be installed as either a pendant chandelier or a semi-flush ceiling light depending on ceiling height. The adjustable drop ranges from 510mm minimum to 760mm maximum, controlled by a height-adjustable rod during installation. For dining tables in rooms with 2.4m ceilings, the semi-flush position works well; for higher ceilings above 2.7m, the full drop positions the chandelier 700-900mm above the table surface. The 540mm diameter suits tables 1200-1600mm in length.

The four arms radiate evenly from the central hub, creating a balanced symmetry when viewed from below. Each glass shade measures approximately 100mm wide and tapers from the base to the tip, giving the fitting a sculptural quality when unlit and a warm glow when the G9 bulbs are switched on. The antique brass metalwork shows subtle tonal variation across the surface, a characteristic of the finishing process that gives each fitting slight differences in patina. Dimmable G9 LED bulbs (sold separately, typically 3-5W per fitting) allow the light output to be adjusted from full brightness for task lighting to a low ambient level for evening use.

What bulbs does the Flavia take?

The chandelier requires four G9 bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with dimmable G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K for warm ambient light. The dual-layer frosted and clear glass shades diffuse the light effectively, so lower-wattage LEDs provide sufficient brightness without glare.

Can it be used as a semi-flush ceiling light?

Yes. The telescopic rod allows the chandelier to be installed with a drop as short as 510mm, making it suitable for lower ceilings where a full pendant drop would be too long. For rooms with ceiling heights between 2.3m and 2.5m, the semi-flush position keeps the fitting clear of head height while still providing directed downward light.

What ceiling height is needed for full pendant installation?

For dining table use with the chandelier at full 760mm drop, a ceiling height of 2.7m or above works best. This positions the fitting approximately 700-900mm above the table surface, depending on the exact ceiling height and personal preference.

Is the antique brass finish uniform?

No. The antique brass finish is applied as a patinated coating over the metal base, which creates subtle tonal variation across different sections of the arms and central stem. This variation is intentional and gives the fitting an aged, hand-finished appearance rather than the uniform tone of polished or brushed brass.
