Gentry 6 Light Large Pendant - Polished Nickel

The Hinkley Gentry is a 6-light lantern pendant with a polished nickel frame enclosing curved clear glass panels. Six E14 candle bulbs sit on white sleeves inside the lantern, creating a traditional candelabra arrangement visible through the glass. The polished nickel finish covers the cylindrical frame, arched top handle, and chain suspension, reflecting ambient light across the metalwork.

Designed for entrance halls, dining rooms and stairwells with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Gentry provides central illumination across 12-16 square metres depending on bulb choice and ceiling height. The 3810mm maximum drop allows the pendant to be shortened on installation for lower ceilings or lengthened for double-height spaces and vaulted hallways. The 354mm diameter fits comfortably in rooms 3m wide or wider without dominating the floor space visually.

The curved glass panels are held within the nickel frame at top and bottom, forming a sealed cylinder that protects the bulbs from dust while allowing light to pass through unobstructed. The white candle sleeves conceal the bulb bases and give the appearance of wax candles, pairing the lantern form with classical detailing. The polished nickel finish works across both traditional interiors and transitional schemes where warmer metallics complement cooler wall tones.

Each E14 bulb is rated up to 60W, giving flexibility to use lower-wattage LED candles for ambient light (6 x 4W = 24W total, approximately 1,800-2,400 lumens) or higher-output bulbs for brighter task lighting. The chain-suspended design means the pendant can be centred over a dining table or offset in a hallway without needing to reposition ceiling fixings, as the chain adjusts to find vertical alignment from any ceiling rose position.

What bulbs does the Gentry take?

The pendant takes six E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a soft glow that complements the traditional candelabra styling.

What ceiling height is needed?

The minimum drop of 738mm (fitting height plus chain) works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above when hung over a dining table or in a hallway. The maximum 3810mm drop allows the pendant to be used in double-height entrance halls and stairwells.

Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?

The drop is adjustable on installation by shortening or lengthening the chain. Once installed and the excess chain concealed, the height is fixed unless the pendant is taken down and re-adjusted.

How is the glass cleaned?

The curved glass panels can be wiped with a microfibre cloth and standard glass cleaner. The panels are fixed within the frame, so cleaning is done in situ rather than by removing the glass. Switch off power and allow bulbs to cool before cleaning.
