Fabula Tamworth 8 Light Telescopic Semi Flush - Medium Cylinder Shades - French Gold & Chrome Glass

Eight Cylinders in Warm Gold with Cool Glass Tones

This telescopic semi flush is built for rooms where a full pendant would hang too low, allowing you to adjust how close it sits to the ceiling while still showing off eight medium cylinder shades arranged around the frame. The French gold metalwork contrasts beautifully with the chrome tinted glass, which picks up both warm and cool reflections depending on the angle of the light.

Choosing Your Finish

French gold is a warm, burnished finish that sits somewhere between traditional brass and contemporary metallics. The chrome tinted glass adds visual depth without being too dark, so you get the benefit of tinted glass aesthetics without sacrificing brightness in the room.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders power the fitting, with each bulb capable of taking a 10W maximum, giving you flexibility in the total light level. The telescopic mechanism lets you adjust the drop to suit your ceiling height, sliding up or down depending on the room. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, which means it needs an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means this is suitable for dry indoor rooms only, with no protection against water splashes.

Where It Works Best

This works brilliantly in hallways and landings with lower ceilings where a full pendant would feel overwhelming, or in bedrooms where you want a bit of chandelier style without committing to maximum drop. It's equally at home in a living room or kitchen where the telescopic feature lets you adjust for the right proportions. The 82cm diameter means it works best in rooms with generous floor space so the width of the fitting reads as intentional rather than cramped.

Design Details

The cylinder shades are a popular choice in contemporary interiors, offering clean lines and even light distribution without the fussiness of fringed or fabric shades. The telescopic frame is a functional design element in itself, allowing you to fine tune the position while maintaining the full visual impact of all eight lights. Made from iron and glass, it's a robust fitting built for everyday use.
