Description
The Marquise is a 425mm diameter drum pendant with a white fabric-covered shade wrapped around an enamelled metal frame, suspended on adjustable steel cables with integrated cable stoppers. The shade houses three E27 bulb fittings (bulbs sold separately), providing a combined light output diffused through the fabric to create soft ambient illumination.
Designed for dining rooms, kitchen islands and living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Marquise suits rooms where overhead ambient light is needed without harsh glare. The adjustable suspension cables allow the pendant to be set at the correct drop height during installation—typically 700-900mm above a dining table or 600-800mm above a kitchen worktop. The automatic cable stoppers lock the height without tools, and the cables conceal the electrical run from the ceiling rose to the pendant canopy.
The white fabric shade is backed by a flame-retardant PVC sheet for safety, and the metal frame beneath provides structural rigidity so the shade maintains its circular profile when hung. The three E27 fittings accept standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W each, giving flexibility to choose the colour temperature and brightness that suits the space. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor environments only.
Ideal Lux manufactures the Marquise in Italy and backs it with a five-year warranty. The clean white finish and simple drum profile pair comfortably with both contemporary and traditional interiors, and the 425mm diameter provides visual presence without overwhelming rooms of 12-20m² floor area.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Marquise take?
The pendant has three E27 (Edison screw) fittings, each accepting bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair drum pendants with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for comfortable ambient light.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself supports dimming—bulb and dimmer compatibility is what determines the result.
What height should it hang above a dining table?
The typical drop is 700-900mm above the table surface, depending on ceiling height and personal preference. The adjustable steel cables lock at any height using the integrated cable stoppers, so you can set the pendant during installation to suit your room.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. The IP20 rating means the Marquise is suitable for dry indoor environments only. For bathrooms, you need a pendant with at least an IP44 rating for zones outside the shower enclosure.
