Louise 6 Light Crystal Chandelier 88cm - Polished Chrome with White Shades

The Louise is an 88cm 6-light crystal chandelier built on a polished chrome frame of curved arms, each supporting a white organza shade and a cluster of faceted crystal pendalogues. Six E27 bulbs (sold separately) sit inside the organza shades, which diffuse direct light while allowing the crystal drops below each shade to catch and refract reflected light across the room.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Louise spans 88cm diameter and requires clearance space around it to avoid the arms being too close to walls or furniture. The drop is adjustable between 650mm minimum and 1500mm maximum on installation, allowing the chandelier to be set at the appropriate height for the room, typically 750-850mm above a dining table or 2m above floor level in an entrance hall. The polished chrome canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses.

Each of the six arms curves outward from the central column in a symmetrical arrangement, with the white organza shades forming the visual bulk of each light and the crystal drops adding movement and sparkle below. The chrome frame itself weighs 6.94kg once the shades and crystals are fitted, so the ceiling rose and fixings must be rated to support this load safely. The white shades soften the high-gloss chrome finish and reduce glare from bare bulbs, making the chandelier suitable for rooms where ambient rather than task lighting is the priority.

The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E27 LED or halogen bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, allowing output to be adjusted for different times of day or occasions. The organza shades are hand-stitched and the crystal drops are individually hung during assembly, so minor variation in shade tension and crystal positioning is normal and does not affect function.

What bulbs does the Louise take?

The chandelier takes six E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or living room light. The specification states dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer are required for dimming function.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 88cm diameter and adjustable 650-1500mm drop work best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 750-850mm above the surface, which requires a ceiling height of at least 2.4m even at minimum drop. For entrance halls the chandelier should hang at least 2m above floor level to avoid head clearance issues.

Is the drop adjustable after installation?

The drop is set during installation by shortening the suspension cable to the desired length. Once the chandelier is hung and the canopy is fixed to the ceiling, the drop cannot be adjusted without taking the fitting down and re-threading the cable.

Can the organza shades be cleaned?

The white organza shades attract dust over time. They can be gently vacuumed on a low setting using a soft brush attachment, or wiped with a barely-damp microfibre cloth. Do not soak the fabric or use detergents, as this may discolour the weave or damage the stitching.
