Description
The Paola is a 6 light linear chandelier with a gold-painted metal frame supporting two horizontal arms, each carrying three black fabric shades. The arms curve in symmetrical loops beneath the shades, with six teardrop crystal finials suspended below the frame. The chandelier measures 1000mm wide by 190mm deep, designed to hang lengthways above rectangular dining tables and kitchen islands.
Each of the six E14 candle bulb fittings sits inside a tapered black fabric shade, directing light downward onto the table surface while the shades themselves contain spill light to reduce glare. The gold-painted finish on the metal frame catches ambient light from windows and other fixtures, adding warmth to the overall effect. The chandelier is adjustable on installation from 680mm to 1680mm drop, allowing it to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining surface depending on ceiling height.
The combination of gold metalwork and black shades works in both traditional and contemporary interiors — the curved arms and crystal finials nod to classical chandelier design, while the matte black fabric and linear symmetry suit modern dining spaces. The 3.5kg weight requires a ceiling rose rated for at least 5kg, and the chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.
The Paola is part of Mantra's Spanish-manufactured lighting collection, designed to pair decorative presence with functional task lighting. The black shades measure approximately 200mm diameter at the base, large enough to contain the bulb fully and prevent direct view of the filament from normal seated positions around a dining table.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take and are they included?
The Paola takes six E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair it with 4-6W warm-white LED candle bulbs at 2700K-3000K for dining table use. Total wattage depends on the bulbs chosen.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when fitted with dimmable E14 bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. The fixture itself supports dimming, but the bulbs must also be dimmable for the function to work.
What size dining table does it suit?
The 1000mm width suits dining tables between 1600mm and 2200mm long. For tables shorter than 1600mm the chandelier may look oversized; for tables longer than 2200mm consider pairing two smaller pendants instead.
How is the drop adjusted?
The chandelier hangs on a chain that can be shortened during installation by removing links. The minimum drop of 680mm and maximum drop of 1680mm allow the fitting to be positioned 700-900mm above the table surface in most rooms with standard 2.4m ceilings.
