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

Warm Cognac for Ambient Depth

Short cylinder shades in cognac coloured glass sit around a French gold telescopic frame on this Tamworth semi flush, creating a warm, amber tinted glow that reads as richer than clear glass but less heavy than fully smoked. The shorter shade profile gives it a more compact, rounded silhouette compared to the medium cylinder versions in the range.

Choosing Your Finish

Cognac glass splits the difference between clear and smoked, it's warm and slightly coloured without being moody or dark. The French gold frame enhances this warmth, creating a fitting that adds something to a room's character beyond pure illumination. If you prefer a different colour temperature, the same semi flush design appears elsewhere in the range in clear, smoked or chrome lined glass.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders sit within the cylinder shades, wired to Class I electrical standards with an earth connection required during installation. The telescopic mounting allows adjustment of the vertical drop to suit your ceiling height. When paired with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch, this fitting is dimmable. IP20 protection restricts it to dry, indoor use.

Where It Works Best

The semi flush design suits rooms with standard ceiling heights, allowing the frame to sit close overhead. The cognac glass and gold combination particularly suits living rooms and dining spaces where the warm light output contributes to atmosphere. Bedrooms and kitchens also work well, and hallways with the right ceiling height benefit from the compact profile.

Design Details

The Tamworth collection is built on the principle of pairing solid iron frames with glass shading, and this version uses short cylinders to create a tidier, more compact footprint. Cognac coloured glass is the distinguishing feature, it's less common than clear or smoked, giving this version its own character while remaining part of the wider design family.

Questions People Ask

What colour is cognac glass exactly?
It's a warm amber brown, lighter and less intense than smoked glass but with more colour and warmth than clear glass, somewhere between the two.

Would this work in a modern kitchen?
Yes, the cognac glass is warm enough to work in contemporary spaces, especially if you have other warm metallics or wood tones in the room to echo the colour.

How big is the diameter?
At 85cm it's quite substantial, making it suitable for larger rooms or spaces where you want a real focal point. If you need something smaller, the single pendant or six light round pendant might be better options.
