Palace 6 Light Crystal Chandelier - Antique Gold

The Palace is a 50cm diameter crystal chandelier with six E27 bulb fittings arranged inside a two-tier metal frame finished in antique gold. The upper tier forms a wide bowl densely packed with small faceted crystal beads that catch and multiply light from the bulbs above. Below this sits a shorter cascade of larger crystal drops in graduating lengths, creating depth and movement when lit. An ornate brass gallery band wraps the upper bowl, carrying a raised foliate pattern that gives the fitting a classical European profile.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and principal bedrooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Palace works where a decorative fitting with reflective mass is needed rather than a minimal silhouette. The 38cm height allows it to hang without dominating headroom in standard residential ceiling heights, while the 50cm diameter gives enough visual weight for a 3-4m dining table or 4m square entrance hall. The semi-flush mounting brings the chandelier closer to the ceiling than a traditional suspension pendant, making it suitable for rooms where a long drop would intrude on circulation space.

The antique gold finish on the metal frame shows tonal variation across the surface, darker in recessed ornament detail and lighter on raised areas, giving an aged patina rather than a uniform polish. This pairs the fitting comfortably with heritage interiors, traditional dining furniture and warm-toned wall finishes. The crystal drops are hand-strung on brass wire loops, meaning the chandelier arrives partially disassembled and requires approximately 30 minutes to fit the crystal elements onto the frame before ceiling installation. Each crystal is K9 optical glass rather than lead crystal, giving good light refraction at lower weight and cost.

Product Manual

What bulbs does the Palace take?

The chandelier takes six E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this fitting with warm-white LED candle or golf ball bulbs between 4-7W and 2700K for a traditional warm glow that complements the antique gold finish.

Does it arrive fully assembled?

No. The metal frame arrives assembled, but the crystal drops are packed separately and need to be attached to the frame using the pre-fitted wire loops before ceiling installation. This typically takes 20-30 minutes and requires no tools beyond what's needed for ceiling mounting.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 38cm fixture height suits standard UK residential ceiling heights of 2.4m and above. For dining tables, the chandelier typically sits 750-850mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards. Lower ceilings can accommodate the fitting if it's positioned away from circulation routes.

Is the Palace suitable for bathrooms?

No. The IP20 rating means the chandelier is not protected against moisture and should only be installed in dry indoor locations away from steam, condensation or direct water contact. It is suitable for hallways, dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms.
