Description
The Paola is a 70cm five-light chandelier built around looping gold-painted arms that curve outward from a central column, each supporting a conical cream fabric shade and an E14 bulb fitting. Five amber crystal droplets hang beneath the frame, adding weight and a subtle decorative accent to the lower profile.
Designed for dining rooms, living rooms and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or higher, the chandelier provides ambient light through the cream shades, which diffuse the bulb output and soften the illumination across the room. The 700mm diameter suits tables between 1.4m and 1.8m long, or larger living rooms where a central ceiling fitting is needed. The adjustable drop ranges from 730mm minimum to 1500mm maximum, set during installation by adjusting the chain length inside the gold-painted canopy.
The gold finish on the metalwork is a warm painted tone rather than plated brass, giving a matte-sheen surface that works with both traditional and warmer contemporary interiors. The cream shades are fabric, not paper, and the looping arms give the chandelier a sculptural presence when viewed from below. At 4kg installed weight, the fitting requires a ceiling rose rated for at least 5kg and solid fixing into a joist or ceiling beam.
The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Mantra recommends five warm-white LED bulbs between 4W and 6W each for typical residential use, giving approximately 2,000-3,000 lumens total output depending on bulb choice.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Paola take?
The chandelier takes five E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 4W and 6W each at 2700K-3000K colour temperature. The E14 fitting is the smaller candle-style base, not the standard E27.
Is the Paola dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself has no electronics that would prevent dimming, so compatibility depends on the bulbs chosen and the dimmer model installed.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop ranges from 730mm to 1500mm. For a dining table the chandelier typically hangs 700-800mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The drop is set during installation by adjusting the chain length concealed inside the canopy.
What table size does the 70cm diameter suit?
A 70cm chandelier pairs well with dining tables between 1.4m and 1.8m long. For tables longer than 2m, consider two pendants or a larger single fitting. The 700mm spread also works as a central ceiling light in living rooms up to approximately 20m².
