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

Eight Warm Amber Cylinders in French Gold

This telescopic semi flush pairs a French gold frame with cognac tinted glass cylinders, giving the whole fitting a warm, inviting appearance. The amber tones of the cognac glass absorb some of the light's brightness, creating a cosier atmosphere than clear or chrome glass versions. The telescopic mechanism lets you adjust how close it sits to the ceiling, making it perfect for rooms where you want the look of a full chandelier without the drop of a pendant.

Choosing Your Finish

Cognac tinted glass brings warmth to a fitting, working particularly well in dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms where a rich, amber light is desired. French gold complements the warmth of the glass beautifully, creating a cohesive, luxury aesthetic. If you prefer a lighter, brighter look, the same fitting is available with chrome tinted or clear glass.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders power this semi flush, with each bulb capable of taking a 10W maximum. The telescopic mechanism allows you to adjust the drop to match your specific ceiling height, sliding smoothly as you position the fitting. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, which means it requires an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating indicates this is suitable for dry indoor areas only, with no moisture protection on the electrical parts.

Where It Works Best

This fitting excels in rooms with lower or standard ceiling heights where a full pendant would be overwhelming, such as hallways, landings, and bedrooms. The cognac glass makes it particularly suited to dining rooms where the warm glow enhances the dining experience. The 82cm diameter gives real presence without crowding a medium sized space, and you can adjust the drop to sit very close to the ceiling if needed.

Design Details

The cylinder shade is a timeless choice, offering simplicity without sacrifice of presence. The cognac glass has a slight warmth that's distinctly different from clear glass, softening the light and creating an intimate atmosphere. The eight light arrangement distributes light evenly around the space while the telescopic frame adds a layer of functional design that becomes part of the aesthetic.

Questions People Ask

How warm will the light be?
Cognac tinted glass naturally absorbs some of the light while adding its own warm amber colour. If you use warm white LED or filament bulbs, you'll get a very cosy light that feels intimate. Cool white bulbs will still look warm because of the glass tint, but less dramatically so.

Will this fitting work in a modern home?
Absolutely. The clean cylinder shades and French gold finish read as contemporary, and the warmth of cognac glass is increasingly popular in modern interiors. It's a good bridge between classic and current styles.

Is this brighter or dimmer than the chrome glass version?
The cognac tint does absorb some light, so it's slightly less bright than a chrome or clear glass version of the same fitting. You can adjust by using the maximum 10W bulbs and ensuring your bulbs are a warm white colour for the best effect.
