Description
The Ninette is a 4 light island chandelier built on two curved antique brass arms that sweep outward from a central stem, each arm supporting two conical black fabric shades. The 1030mm linear span positions the four E14 fittings across a dining table or kitchen island, with the curved arms creating visual rhythm along the length of the fixture. Each shade has a wave-contoured edge that softens the otherwise geometric form.
Designed for installation above dining tables between 1.6m and 2.4m long, or kitchen islands with similar length, the Ninette works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher. The adjustable chain allows the fixture to be set between 520mm and 1500mm drop, giving flexibility to position the shades 700-800mm above a table surface depending on the ceiling height. The antique brass frame and black fabric combination suits both warm-toned traditional interiors and contemporary spaces using brass accents.
The antique brass finish is darker and warmer than polished or brushed brass, with tonal variation that comes from the patina treatment applied to the metal. The black shades direct light downward onto the table while the fabric weave diffuses some lateral glow, creating focused task light for dining without harsh shadows. Each shade measures approximately 200mm wide at the base, and the four shades together give a total fixture weight of 2.5kg, which fits standard UK ceiling roses and hook-plate installations.
The Ninette takes four E14 small Edison screw bulbs (sold separately), with dimmer compatibility dependent on the specific bulb chosen. Most LED E14 bulbs rated between 4W and 6W at 2700K-3000K provide sufficient light for dining and pair well with the warm brass tone. The linear form of the fixture means it reads as a single composition rather than four separate points of light, which works better than individual pendants when the table is set for more than four people.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Ninette take?
The chandelier takes four E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED E14 bulbs at 2700K-3000K warm white. Maximum wattage per bulb depends on the bulb type — LED bulbs up to 6W are typical, incandescent or halogen up to 40W per fitting.
What table length does it suit?
The 1030mm linear span works best above dining tables between 1.6m and 2.4m long, or kitchen islands of similar length. For shorter tables the fixture may overpower the space; for longer tables consider pairing two Ninette chandeliers end-to-end or choosing a larger island pendant.
Is the Ninette dimmable?
Yes, if paired with dimmable bulbs. The fixture itself is dimmer-compatible, but dimmer performance depends on the specific E14 bulb chosen. Most modern LED E14 bulbs labelled 'dimmable' work with trailing-edge dimmers.
How is the drop adjusted?
The chain is adjustable on installation between 520mm and 1500mm. Once the chandelier is hung and wired, the chain length is fixed unless the electrician returns to adjust it. Plan the drop height before installation — 700-800mm above a dining table surface is typical.
