Description
The Verdale is a 6 light chandelier combining chrome wire cube frames with curved outer glass shades, suspended from a polished chrome stem and canopy. Each of the six arms holds a geometric chrome cage inside a rounded clear glass shade, with the entire arrangement radiating from a central chrome hub in a symmetrical cluster. The fitting takes six G9 bulbs (sold separately), each rated up to 33W, and measures 60cm across with a 40cm drop from canopy to base.
Designed for dining rooms, open-plan kitchen-dining areas and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Verdale sits at the higher end of the scale for residential chandeliers. The 60cm diameter typically suits rooms of 4m x 4m or larger, where the fixture can be centred over a dining table or positioned in an entry hall to anchor the space. The polished chrome finish reflects both natural and artificial light, amplifying the brightness from the six bulbs and adding a metallic accent to the room.
The wire cube frames inside each glass shade create a layered effect when lit, with the chrome geometry casting subtle shadows onto the glass. The combination of hard geometric lines and soft curved glass gives the fitting a mid-century modern character that pairs comfortably with both chrome and brushed metal fixtures elsewhere in the home. The 4kg weight requires a ceiling fixing capable of supporting the load, typically a standard UK ceiling rose with appropriate fixings for plasterboard or masonry ceilings.
The Verdale comes from Impex, a UK-based decorative lighting manufacturer producing a range of contemporary and traditional fittings. The chrome finish on this piece is mirror-polished rather than brushed, so it shows a high level of reflectivity and pairs best with other high-gloss or polished metal finishes in the room.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Verdale take?
The chandelier requires six G9 capsule bulbs, each rated up to 33W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K for warm white light suitable for dining areas.
What room size does the 60cm diameter suit?
A 60cm chandelier typically suits rooms of 4m x 4m or larger. For dining tables, the fitting should be centred over the table with at least 60-80cm clearance on all sides. For entrance halls, allow at least 2.1m clearance from floor to the base of the chandelier.
Is the chandelier dimmable?
Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs used. G9 LED bulbs vary in their dimmer compatibility, so check the bulb specification before pairing with a dimmer switch. Halogen G9 bulbs are universally dimmable but produce more heat than LEDs.
How is the chrome cleaned?
Wipe the chrome frame with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works without leaving water marks. Avoid household sprays or polishes that can leave residue on the glass shades.
