Fabula Tamworth 5 Light Telescopic Semi Flush - Tall Cylinder Shades - French Gold & Frosted Glass

Five Tall Cylinders in Frosted Glass and French Gold

This five light telescopic semi flush has a more vertical, slender profile than medium cylinder versions, with frosted glass shades stretched upward in a way that makes the fitting feel elegant rather than squat. The French gold frame brings warmth to the combination, and the frosted glass ensures the light spreads gently across the room rather than creating spotlighting. The telescopic mechanism lets you adjust the drop to suit your ceiling height, bringing the fitting as close to the ceiling as you need.

Choosing Your Finish

French gold is a warm, burnished metallic that sits naturally between traditional brass and contemporary finishes. It pairs beautifully with frosted glass, which has a soft, diffused quality that complements the warmth of the gold frame. The combination works across many interior styles from heritage to current.

How It Works

Five G9 lamp holders are arranged around the frame, each capable of handling a 10W maximum bulb. The frosted glass shades mean light diffuses evenly rather than throwing sharp points of brightness, making this comfortable for living spaces and bedrooms where harsh light isn't welcome. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means this is for dry indoor areas only.

Where It Works Best

This semi flush works particularly well in bedrooms and hallways where you want the look of a multi light fitting without the drop of a full pendant. The telescopic feature means you can position it at exactly the right height for your ceiling, from very close up to the full 82cm drop. The 60cm diameter makes it suitable for medium to larger rooms where a smaller fitting would look lost.

Design Details

The tall cylinder design is a departure from the stubby medium cylinder approach, giving the fitting an altogether more refined silhouette. Frosted glass is a timeless choice that never feels trendy, working across contemporary and traditional interiors equally well. The French gold metalwork adds just enough colour warmth to prevent the fitting from feeling cold or clinical.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between tall and medium cylinders?
The tall version has a more slender, stretched profile that reads as more elegant. Medium cylinders are stockier. Which works best depends on your ceiling height and personal aesthetic.

Is this suitable for a bedroom?
Yes, it's an excellent choice for bedrooms. The frosted glass gives soft, diffused light that's more relaxing than a bright spotlight, and you can dim it with compatible dimmer bulbs for even better bedroom ambience.

How low can I bring the telescopic mechanism?
You can adjust it anywhere within the 82cm maximum drop, bringing it as close to the ceiling as you want. It depends on your specific installation height and the look you're going for in the room.
