Elstead Cromwell 18 Light Chandelier - Old Bronze

Two tiers of candlelight, stacked for height

Where the single tier Cromwell chandeliers circle one ring, this eighteen light version stacks two, the upper ring's arms offset against the lower one so the whole fitting reads as a proper tiered wheel rather than a doubled up single tier. It's the largest piece in the range and needs a ceiling to match.

Old Bronze, banded and riveted

Old Bronze covers both tiers in the same uneven, aged tone across the collection, with the banding and the raised rivet heads around each ring catching more shadow than the smoother candle cups and stems. Up close, the join between the band and each arm is bolted rather than seamless, giving the whole fitting a worked, ironmongery feel rather than a cast or polished one.

How it works

Eighteen E14 LED lamp holders are split across the two rings, nine to a tier, each set on its own upright arm with a drip style candle pan. A single chain runs from the ceiling rose down to both rings, adjustable from 128.5cm up to 600cm, so it can be set to suit stairwells, double height dining rooms or barn conversions with real headroom to spare. This is a hardwired ceiling fitting, so we always recommend a qualified electrician installs it.

Where it works best

At 130cm across and 120.5cm tall before the chain even starts, this wants a room where both tiers can be taken in properly, not one where the lower ring ends up at head height. Kitchens with a vaulted or double height ceiling and larger dining rooms are where the tiered profile actually earns its keep.

Elstead and the Cromwell range

This eighteen light piece sits at the top of Elstead's Cromwell range, a collection built around the same wagon wheel silhouette that runs right down to a compact two light wall sconce for a hallway or landing. Elstead Lighting traces its roots back to The Elstead Forge in Alton, Hampshire, and the business remains Lucas family led, with the Cromwell range built on that traditional ironwork character rather than anything overtly modern.
