Viena 4 Light Chandelier 53cm - Polished Brass with Frosted Glass Shades

The Viena is a 53cm 4-light chandelier built on four curved brass arms radiating from a central polished brass hub, each arm terminating in a frosted glass torch-shaped shade with a clear glass tip. The polished brass finish provides high-shine reflectivity that amplifies ambient light, while the frosted glass diffuses the four G9 bulbs (sold separately) to reduce glare. The clear glass tip at the end of each shade adds a transparent accent and visual weight to the arm terminals.

Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4-3m, the Viena provides both ambient and decorative light. The telescopic suspension rod allows the chandelier to be set at any drop between 550mm and 730mm during installation, making it adaptable to different ceiling heights without needing to cut the cable or return the fitting. At 53cm diameter the chandelier suits tables of 120-160cm length or foyer spaces of 3-4m square.

The curved arms and torch-shaped shades reference mid-century Italian design, but the polished brass finish and geometric proportions keep the fitting contemporary rather than period-specific. The 3.8kg total weight requires a ceiling rose or junction box rated for the load, and the four G9 sockets accept halogen or LED capsule bulbs up to 40W each. The chandelier is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.

What bulbs does the Viena take?

The chandelier takes four G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. G9 bulbs are available in both halogen (typically 28-40W) and LED (3-5W equivalent) formats. Most users pair this with warm white LED G9 bulbs at 2700-3000K for dining and living spaces.

Is the Viena dimmable?

Yes, if fitted with dimmable G9 bulbs and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Not all G9 LED bulbs are dimmable, so check the bulb specification before purchasing if you intend to use a dimmer.

What ceiling height is needed?

The telescopic drop adjusts between 550mm and 730mm. For use above a dining table the chandelier typically sits 700-850mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Lower ceilings can use the minimum 550mm drop setting.

How is the brass finish maintained?

Polished brass develops a natural patina over time unless regularly buffed. To maintain the high-shine finish, wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. For tarnish removal, use a brass polish following the product instructions, then buff with a microfibre cloth. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the glass shades as residue can affect light diffusion.
