Searchlight Marsh Matt Black 8 Light Multi-arm Fitting, Birdcage Design

A Bold Take on the Birdcage Chandelier

The Marsh in matt black takes the same open, curving birdcage silhouette as the original Marsh pendant and gives it a bolder, more contemporary finish. Its 8 sweeping arms fan out from a central column to a 60cm width, each one topped with a candle style bulb holder, giving a strong spread of light and real presence over a table or in a taller room.

Materials and Finish

The frame is made from mild steel, finished in matt black throughout, right down to the candle style bulb holders and drip pans on each arm.

How It Works

Each of the 8 arms takes a 60W E14 candle bulb, not included, and the fitting works with dimmable bulbs if you want to soften the light. As a Class I fixture it needs to be earthed and should be fitted by a qualified electrician. The drop height is adjustable, so it can be set to suit your ceiling.

Where It Works Best

Its bold black finish and open, wire frame arms suit living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways looking for a more graphic, contemporary take on the birdcage chandelier look, especially over a dining table or in a double height stairwell.
