Fabula Maida 5 Light Semi-Flush/Pendant - Antique Brass & Prismatic Glass

Chandelier Presence Without the Drama

This five-light semi-flush brings a genuine statement to a hallway or living room, its antique brass arms spreading out to hold prismatic glass shades that catch light and scatter it across the ceiling. The faceted geometry of each shade has that cut-glass shimmer without edging into formal territory, making it work in contemporary rooms as easily as more traditional schemes.

Choosing Your Finish

The fitting comes with antique brass arms, a warm metallic that develops a natural patina over time and sits comfortably in most lighting schemes. The Maida range is available in other finishes too, giving you flexibility to match it to your existing metalwork if you're working within a defined colour palette.

How It Works

The fitting holds five E27 (golf ball) lamp sockets, with a maximum wattage of 20W per bulb, and bulbs are sold separately. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, meaning it requires an earth connection as part of installation. The adaptor required during installation is a standard half-fitting adaptor. The fitting is compatible with dimmable bulbs if you'd like to control the mood of the room, provided you use a compatible dimmer switch.

Where It Works Best

This semi-flush works brilliantly in dining rooms as a central feature light, in hallways where a full drop pendant might feel too low, or in kitchens with standard ceiling heights where you want chandelier presence without the long chain. It's equally happy in a living room as a focal point that pulls the eye upward. The 57cm diameter and compact 29cm height mean it sits close to the ceiling, making it practical for rooms where headroom matters.

Design Details

The appeal of the Maida collection comes from balancing solidity with light and sparkle. The iron arms have real weight and presence, anchoring the fitting to the ceiling, while the prismatic glass shades break up and scatter light in a way that feels more generous and less harsh than a plain glass or ceramic shade could manage. It's the kind of piece that reads as a proper lighting fixture rather than just a functional component of the room.

Questions People Ask

How is this different from a full pendant?
A semi-flush sits close to the ceiling, typically 20 to 30cm from it, whereas a pendant can drop much further. Semi-flush fittings are ideal for rooms with standard or lower ceilings where a long drop would feel cramped.

What's the adaptor for?
It's a standard half-fitting adaptor that connects the fitting to the ceiling-mounted canopy during installation. Your installer will handle this as part of the job.

Can I use dimmable bulbs with this?
Yes, but you'll also need a compatible dimmer switch. Not all dimmers work with all bulb types, so check your bulb's specifications before assuming it'll work with your dimmer.
