{"product_id":"mara-4-light-chandelier-polished-chrome-with-white-shades","title":"Mara 4 Light Chandelier - Polished Chrome with White Shades","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mara is a 4 light chandelier built around two curved chrome arms that cross at the centre column and extend 1150mm horizontally, each arm holding two ivory white pleated fabric shades. The polished chrome frame forms a flowing X-shape when viewed head-on, with the arms curving outward and upward from the central stem. Four E14 bulbs sit beneath the shades (sold separately), casting light downward through the fabric while the reflective chrome bounces indirect light off the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for dining tables, kitchen islands and hallway positions with ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.2m, the Mara's 1150mm arm span suits rooms 3.5m wide or larger without crowding doorways or circulation space. The adjustable drop ranges from 650mm minimum to 2500mm maximum on installation, allowing the fitting to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining surface or lowered for double-height entrance halls. The polished chrome finish pairs with both warm-toned and cool contemporary interiors, while the ivory white shades soften the metallic glare and provide diffused ambient light rather than focused task lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pleated fabric shades are rigid rather than soft-gathered, maintaining their tapered drum shape without sagging over time. Each shade measures approximately 210mm diameter at the base and tapers slightly toward the top, with vertical pleating running the full height of the fabric. The chrome arms terminate in decorative finials below the shades, balancing the visual weight of the upper structure. At 3kg total weight the chandelier requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or reinforced ceiling rose rather than plasterboard alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour Finish 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShade Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIvory White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1150mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2500mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDependent On Lamps Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - Dimmable Lamps Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulbs does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mara takes four E14 small Edison screw bulbs (candle style), sold separately.

Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulbs chosen — LED bulbs require LED-compatible dimmers rather than traditional resistive or magnetic dimmers designed for incandescent bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat ceiling height is needed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 650mm minimum drop works in rooms with 2.4m ceilings when hung above a dining table, positioning the chandelier approximately 700-800mm above the surface. Higher ceilings up to 3.2m can use the adjustable chain to lower the fitting further without requiring additional chain length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the shades be cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ivory white pleated fabric shades attract dust over time. Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, or wipe gently with a barely-damp microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric or using spray cleaners, which may stain the pleats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mantra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935548408075,"sku":"M1642","price":234.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/mara_M1642_WB_big_0fadc79d-bf79-40e0-8181-301bfb336da8.jpg?v=1753466242","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/mara-4-light-chandelier-polished-chrome-with-white-shades","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
