Description
The Paola is a 55cm three-arm chandelier with a silver-painted metal frame, three cream conical fabric shades and three black teardrop crystal accents suspended beneath the arms. Each arm curves outward from a central silver column and terminates in an E14 bulb holder (bulbs sold separately). The adjustable drop ranges from 600mm to 1600mm, set during installation by shortening the chain within the ceiling canopy.
Designed for dining tables, bedroom centrepieces and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Paola works in rooms where a larger 5-light or 8-light chandelier would dominate. The 550mm diameter sits comfortably above a 4-6 seater dining table or in a 3m x 3m bedroom without overwhelming the space. The cream shades diffuse the light from each E14 bulb, providing ambient rather than directional illumination, while the silver-painted finish on the metalwork reflects surrounding light to add visual presence.
The three black crystal droplets hang from the underside of each arm on thin wire, adding a small decorative accent that catches light when the chandelier is switched on or when daylight moves across the room. The combination of silver, cream and black suits both traditional and transitional interiors, pairing with greys, warm whites and muted pastels. The 1.8kg weight requires a ceiling fixing suitable for light-to-medium chandeliers, typically a standard UK ceiling rose and junction box rated for at least 3kg.

Frequently Asked
Is this chandelier dimmable?
Yes, the chandelier is compatible with dimmer switches when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs. The dimmer must be rated for the total wattage of the three bulbs combined. Non-dimmable LED bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail on a dimmer circuit.
What bulbs does it take?
The Paola uses three E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with candle-style LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for warm ambient light. The specification table does not limit wattage, but typical domestic E14 LED bulbs range from 4-7W equivalent to 30-60W incandescent.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop of 600-1600mm suits ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards. For a dining table, the chandelier typically hangs 700-900mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with 2.4-2.7m ceilings when the chain is set to minimum drop during installation.
Are the crystal droplets removable?
The three black crystal droplets hang on thin wire beneath each arm and can be removed if a simpler look is preferred. The chandelier functions without them, though their removal leaves visible wire attachment points on the underside of the arms.
