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

Moody Smoke and Polished Gold

Smoked glass takes on a darker, more subtle tone than clear glass, and on this Tamworth semi flush it creates a slightly moodier, more ambient feel while the French gold frame prevents things from becoming too heavy or dark. Eight medium cylinder shades arranged around a telescopic frame catch light differently depending on the time of day and how the fitting is lit.

Choosing Your Finish

Smoked glass absorbs light rather than reflecting it, shifting the whole atmosphere of the fitting from bright and clean to warm and intimate. The gold frame keeps it from feeling gloomy, striking a balance between drama and comfort. Other glass colours are available elsewhere in the Tamworth range if you want the same frame style in a clearer or differently coloured shade.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders sit within the cylinder shades, wired to Class I electrical standards with an earth connection needed during installation. The telescopic mounting allows the drop to be adjusted to suit your specific ceiling height. Dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer will make this fitting dimmable. IP20 protection confines it to indoor, dry-area use.

Where It Works Best

The semi flush design suits any room with standard ceiling heights where you want a light that sits close overhead rather than hanging down. It's particularly at home in living rooms and dining spaces where the warm, amber tinged light from the smoked glass adds something to the room's character beyond just illumination. Hallways and bedrooms work well too.

Design Details

The Tamworth collection marries iron frames with glass shading, and this version uses the cylinder shade form, a geometric approach that suits both contemporary and traditional spaces. The smoked glass is the star here, it's thick enough to have real visual presence while still allowing light through, creating an interplay of translucence and opacity.

Questions People Ask

Is this dimmer than the clear glass version?
Yes, smoked glass absorbs more light so the output is subtly lower, but the quality of the light is often preferred in living and dining spaces because it feels warmer and more intimate.

Does the adjustable drop work well?
The telescopic mechanism allows you to set the ceiling drop anywhere between the minimum and 82cm, so you can adapt it to different ceiling heights without any additional fittings.

Will this look modern or traditional?
The cylinder shade form is neutral enough to work in both, it reads as simple geometry in contemporary spaces and as classic proportions in more traditional rooms.
