Minster 3 Light Chandelier - Ivory Gold Patina

The Minster is a 3-light chandelier built on a central ivory-finished column with three curved arms extending outward to E14 candle fittings, each arm terminating in a shallow drip tray. The ivory metalwork carries a gold patina finish that shows through on the raised edges and curves, creating a two-tone effect between the soft cream base and the warmer gold highlights. The frame measures 370mm across and 345mm in body height, suspended on a 640mm chain that allows for height adjustment between 405mm and 1010mm total drop on installation.

Designed for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where a full-size chandelier would sit too low, the Minster fits comfortably over dining tables in 2.4m-ceiling rooms, in entrance halls, and in bedrooms where a decorative fitting is wanted without overwhelming the vertical space. The fitting can also be converted to a semi-flush mount by removing the chain and fixing the canopy directly to the ceiling rose, bringing the total drop down to around 405mm for particularly low-ceiling applications. The curved arms and looped metalwork reference traditional French and English country house lighting, pairing well with period properties, cottage interiors, and transitional schemes that mix classical forms with simpler modern furnishings.

The ivory finish with gold patina provides a softer alternative to polished brass or antique bronze chandeliers, sitting comfortably in cream, white, pastel and warm-neutral colour schemes without the visual weight of darker metal finishes. Each arm holds a single E14 small Edison screw bulb up to 60W (bulbs sold separately), giving flexibility to choose between warm-white filament candles for a traditional look or LED candles for lower running cost and heat output. The gold patina on the raised metalwork catches light from the bulbs and adds dimensionality to the ivory base coat, particularly visible when the chandelier is lit.

Can this be fitted as a semi-flush ceiling light?

Yes. The Minster can be converted from a pendant chandelier to a semi-flush mount by removing the suspension chain and fixing the canopy directly to the ceiling rose. This reduces the total drop to approximately 405mm, making it suitable for very low ceilings or where a flush-mount profile is preferred.

What bulbs does it take?

The chandelier takes three E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for a traditional candle-flame appearance with lower heat and energy use.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 640mm chain allows the drop to be adjusted between 405mm and 1010mm on installation. For a dining table, the chandelier typically sits 700-800mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The semi-flush conversion option suits lower ceilings down to 2.2m.

Is the gold patina applied over the ivory or is it a separate finish?

The gold patina is applied over the ivory base coat and concentrated on the raised edges, curves and detail areas of the metalwork. This creates a two-tone effect where the flat ivory surfaces contrast with the warmer gold highlights, rather than being a uniform mixed colour across the whole frame.
