Description
The Mayflower is a 9-light chandelier from Hinkley with a two-tier arrangement of etched amber glass shades suspended on a central olde bronze frame. Three lights sit on the upper tier, six on the lower, each held in a yoke-mount bracket with cast tension knobs that reference historical gas-lamp fittings. The chandelier measures 813mm in diameter and 787mm in height before the drop is added, making it suitable for larger rooms with ceiling heights above 2.7m.
Designed for grand dining rooms, double-height entrance halls and open-plan living areas where a substantial centrepiece is needed, the Mayflower provides both ambient light through the etched glass diffusers and architectural presence through its scale and metalwork detail. The adjustable drop ranges from 857mm to 3905mm, allowing the chandelier to be set at the correct height during installation depending on ceiling height and room function. For dining tables the fixture typically sits 750-850mm above the surface.
Each of the nine glass shades is hand-etched amber glass that diffuses warm light while maintaining translucency, so the bulb filaments remain visible when lit with traditional Edison-style lamps. The olde bronze finish is applied over solid metal castings and carries a deliberately aged patina with subtle tonal variation across the surface. The frame construction uses decorative rivets and turned components that recall early 20th-century industrial and colonial revival design, while the chain and canopy system is standard for UK ceiling roses.
The chandelier accepts nine E27 bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or decorative filament lamps depending on the desired light output and colour temperature. At maximum wattage the fitting can deliver up to 540W combined output, though most installations use 6-10W LED lamps per socket for energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Mayflower take?
The chandelier takes nine E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED lamps between 6-10W and 2700K, or decorative Edison-style filament bulbs where the amber glass complements visible filaments.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop ranges from 857mm to 3905mm. For a dining table the chandelier typically sits 750-850mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. Double-height entrance halls can use the full drop to position the chandelier at eye level from the upper floor.
Is the height adjustable after installation?
No. The drop is set during installation by cutting or looping the chain to the desired length. Once fitted the height is fixed unless the chandelier is taken down and the chain re-adjusted.
What size room does it suit?
At 813mm diameter the Mayflower suits dining rooms of 4m x 4m or larger, entrance halls with double-height ceilings, or open-plan living areas where a substantial centrepiece is needed. In smaller rooms the scale can dominate.
