Description
The Hinkley Plantation is a two-tier 10 light chandelier built around polished antique nickel metalwork with pineapple-cut clear optic glass shades. The upper tier carries three lights, the lower tier seven, arranged on curved scrolled arms radiating from a central column decorated with cast pineapple and acanthus leaf motifs. Each arm terminates in a textured pineapple bobeche supporting a bell-shaped fabric shade, with the optic glass diffusing light through deep vertical cuts.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Plantation suits dining rooms seating eight or more, double-height entrance halls, and formal drawing rooms where the 838mm diameter and 1010mm body height provide substantial visual presence without overwhelming the space. The drop is adjustable on installation from 1090mm minimum to 4138mm maximum using a 3048mm chain, allowing the chandelier to be positioned 750-900mm above a dining table or centred in a tall void. The polished antique nickel finish combines bright highlights on raised details with darker patina in recesses, giving depth to the metalwork.
Each of the ten E14 sockets accepts candle bulbs up to 40W (sold separately), with decorative filament LED candles at 4-6W and 2700K providing a period-appropriate look while keeping running costs low. The optic glass cuts create prismatic reflections when the chandelier is lit, multiplying the light sources across the ceiling and walls. The fabric shades soften direct glare from the bulbs while the glass below them acts as a secondary diffuser. The combined weight of metal, glass and fabric gives the fitting presence on the chain without appearing lightweight.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Plantation take?
The chandelier uses ten E14 small Edison screw candle bulbs, each rated up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K for a traditional look with low energy consumption.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop ranges from 1090mm to 4138mm. For a dining table, the chandelier typically hangs 750-900mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above. The full drop suits double-height entrance halls or stairwells with ceilings above 4m.
What size dining table does it suit?
The 838mm diameter works best over dining tables seating eight to twelve people, typically tables between 2.0m and 2.8m long. For smaller tables the chandelier may dominate the space; for larger tables consider pairing two smaller fittings or choosing a wider chandelier.
How is the drop adjusted?
The chain is shortened during installation by removing links and securing the excess chain inside the ceiling canopy. Once installed the drop is fixed unless the fitting is taken down and re-hung.
