Searchlight Marsh Satin Silver 8 Light Multi-arm Fitting, Birdcage Design

An Open Birdcage Silhouette in Satin Silver

The Marsh chandelier takes the classic multi arm candle fitting and opens it right up, with eight slender arms sweeping out from a tall central column in a cool satin silver finish. It is a generously sized piece, spanning 60cm wide with a maximum height of 120cm, so it needs a room with the ceiling height and floor space to give it room to hang properly. The open, wire frame birdcage design lets light spread widely across a room rather than staying boxed in behind a shade, making it a striking centrepiece for a table or open hallway.

Materials and Finish

The frame is made from mild steel, finished in a brushed satin silver that reads as a cooler, more contemporary alternative to traditional brass or bronze chandeliers. The finish is understated rather than shiny, so it sits comfortably in both period and modern rooms.

How It Works

Each of the eight arms holds a 60W E14 candle bulb, not included, and the fitting works with dimmable bulbs if you want to soften the light in the evening. It is a Class I fixture, so it must be earthed and connected by a qualified electrician. The drop height can be adjusted at installation to suit your ceiling, up to a maximum height of 120cm.

Where It Works Best

Its cool tone and open frame make the Marsh a natural fit for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways decorated in a more contemporary palette. Hung centrally over a dining table, the eight arms give an even spread of light across the whole surface rather than a single pool in the middle.
