Elstead Chawton Small Picture Light - Polished Nickel

A neat little light for a favourite picture

Not every picture needs a big fitting to do it justice. The small Chawton picture light is scaled for a single frame or a tighter grouping, sitting close to the wall on two adjustable arms so the shade can be angled precisely once it's installed, rather than fixed in one position.

Polished nickel finish

This finish is a bright, cool toned polished nickel, closer to chrome than to brass, with a reflective, mirror like surface across the shade, arms and backplate. It sits comfortably alongside silver frames, glass and other cool metal fittings in the room.

How It Works

Two knuckle joints along each arm let the shade tilt up or down after fixing, so the light lands on the artwork itself rather than the wall beside it. It's designed around a single small screw fitting bulb, angled to wash gently across the picture surface.

Where It Works Best

A natural fit for hallways, living rooms, dining rooms and studies, anywhere a picture deserves a bit more attention after dark. Being the small version, it suits narrower frames and tighter wall spaces better than its larger siblings would.

Part of the Chawton Range

Chawton comes in small, medium and large sizes and a run of finishes from Elstead, so a gallery wall with pictures of different sizes can still be lit consistently in a matching style.

Elstead Lighting

Questions People Ask

Can I adjust the angle of the small Chawton picture light once it's fitted? Yes. Two knuckle joints on each arm let you tilt the shade up or down after installation, so you can aim it precisely at the picture rather than the wall around it.

What bulb does the small Chawton picture light use? It takes a single E14 bulb, which isn't included, so you can choose the brightness and colour temperature you prefer, including a dimmable bulb if needed.

Is the small Chawton picture light dimmable? Yes, as long as it's fitted with a dimmable E14 bulb. With a standard non dimmable bulb, it won't respond to a dimmer switch.

Is Chawton available in other sizes or finishes? Yes. Alongside this small version, Chawton comes in medium and large sizes and a range of other finishes, so larger frames or a gallery wall can be lit in a matching style.
