Description
The Paola is a 95cm diameter 8-light chandelier with gold-painted curved arms that loop outward in a symmetrical circular arrangement before rising to support cream fabric conical shades. Each of the eight E14 fittings sits within a shade, and small crystal droplets hang beneath each arm, catching light when the chandelier is switched on. The gold finish is paint rather than plated metal, giving a warmer, less reflective tone than polished brass.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Paola provides distributed ambient light rather than focused task lighting. The 800-1500mm adjustable drop allows the chandelier to sit 700-900mm above a dining table or hang lower in a double-height hallway. The 95cm spread suits tables of 180-240cm length or rooms of 4m x 4m and larger. The chain conceals the cable run and the ceiling rose fits standard UK ceiling fittings.
The cream fabric shades diffuse light from the bulbs and reduce glare, while the looping arm design spaces the eight lights evenly around the circumference for balanced illumination across the area below. The crystal droplets add subtle refraction when the chandelier is lit but do not dominate the overall appearance. At 8.5kg installed weight, the chandelier requires a ceiling rose fixed to a joist or solid ceiling rather than plasterboard alone. The gold paint pairs comfortably with warm-toned timber furniture, brass cabinet hardware and neutral wall colours.
The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Mantra recommends E14 candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to complement the cream shades and gold frame. The Paola is part of Mantra's Spanish-designed traditional lighting collection and carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked
Does the Paola come with bulbs?
No. The chandelier requires eight E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. Mantra recommends warm white LED bulbs between 2700K-3000K and 4-6W per bulb to complement the cream shades and gold finish.
Is the chandelier dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier itself does not contain dimming circuitry, so dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs chosen.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 800-1500mm adjustable drop works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above. For a dining table, the chandelier typically sits 700-900mm above the surface, which requires a ceiling height of 2.7m or more allowing for the 95cm diameter of the fitting itself.
Can the ceiling rose support the 8.5kg weight?
The ceiling rose must be fixed to a joist or solid ceiling structure rather than plasterboard alone. If fitting to a plasterboard ceiling, use a spreader plate or cavity fixing rated to the chandelier's weight plus a safety margin.
