Maddison 6 Light Crystal Chandelier 42cm - Polished Chrome

The Maddison is a 42cm diameter crystal chandelier with six G9 bulb fittings arranged inside a cylindrical drum structure wrapped in geometric-cut crystal panels. The polished chrome canopy and suspension cables support a metal frame that holds square and rectangular crystal pieces in a grid pattern around the perimeter, with additional crystal droplets filling the interior. Each piece is faceted to catch and refract light from the six G9 bulbs housed behind the crystal wall.

Designed for dining tables, bedroom centres, or compact living spaces with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.2m, the Maddison works where a traditional multi-tiered chandelier would be too large. The 420mm minimum drop allows installation in lower rooms, while the maximum 1900mm drop accommodates higher ceilings or positions where the chandelier needs to sit lower over a table. The chrome cables are adjustable during fitting, and the 420mm drum diameter gives presence without dominating a 2.5-3m dining table or a 3-4m bedroom.

The polished chrome frame provides a reflective backdrop that amplifies the light thrown by the crystals, creating layered reflections across walls and ceilings when lit. The geometric cut of the crystal panels — square and rectangular rather than traditional tear-drop — gives a more architectural look than classical chandeliers, pairing with both contemporary and transitional interiors. At 5.8kg the chandelier requires a ceiling rose rated for the weight, but standard UK ceiling fixings handle this without additional reinforcement in most builds.

Is the Maddison dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable G9 bulbs and pair the chandelier with a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself has no built-in dimmer — dimming capability depends entirely on the bulbs and wall switch you choose.

What bulbs does it take?

The Maddison takes six G9 capsule bulbs up to 33W each. Bulbs are not included. Most users fit warm-white LED G9s between 2W-5W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or bedroom lighting.

What drop height works for a dining table?

For a dining table, the bottom of the chandelier typically sits 700-850mm above the table surface. With the 420mm drum height, this means the ceiling fixing point needs to be at least 1.5m above the table — achievable in most UK homes with 2.4m ceilings.

Does it need reinforcement in the ceiling?

At 5.8kg the chandelier requires a ceiling rose or fixing rated for the weight. Most standard UK ceiling joists and plasterboard fixings can handle this, but if the ceiling is lath-and-plaster or you're unsure of joist locations, consult a qualified electrician before fitting.
