Searchlight Paley 6 Light Chandelier - Antique Brass & Clear Crystal Drops

A Six Arm Statement in Antique Brass and Crystal

The Paley is a 6 light chandelier in antique brass, dressed with clear crystal drops for a traditional, glamorous centrepiece. It is also a genuinely large fixture, with a 70cm spread and a drop that adjusts from 43cm up to 125cm, so it is worth checking these measurements against your ceiling and room before you order. Its wide spread and warm metal tone make it a strong focal point in larger dining rooms and living spaces.

Materials and Finish

Made from mild steel and glass, finished in antique brass with clear crystal drops hung from each arm and the central column. Because each crystal drop is cut and hung by hand, the exact sparkle and finish tone can vary slightly piece to piece, and it can look different lit compared to unlit, or on a screen compared to in person.

How It Works

Each of the six arms takes a 60W E14 candle bulb, sold separately, and the fitting is compatible with dimmable bulbs if you would like that control. This is a Class I fixture, which means it needs to be properly earthed. Whatever the electrical class, we always recommend having any hardwired light fitting installed by a qualified electrician. The drop height is adjustable, so it can be set to suit your ceiling.

Where It Works Best

Its brass and crystal combination suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways with a traditional or classic decorating style rather than a stripped back minimalist one. Given its scale, it works best somewhere with the ceiling height and floor space to let it hang properly, such as above a dining table or in a room with a high ceiling.

Questions People Ask

How big is the Paley chandelier?
The Paley has a 70cm spread and a fixture height of 43cm. Its chain allows the drop to be adjusted up to a maximum of around 125cm, so it is worth checking these measurements against your ceiling height and room before ordering.

Is the Paley suitable for a large dining room or living room?
Yes. With six arms and a wide spread, it is designed as a focal point for larger dining rooms and living spaces rather than a compact room, and it also suits bedrooms and hallways with a traditional style.

Does the Paley need to be earthed, and can I install it myself?
It is a Class I fixture, which means it needs to be properly earthed. We always recommend having any hardwired light fitting installed by a qualified electrician rather than fitting it yourself.

What bulbs does the Paley take, and is it dimmable?
It takes six 60W E14 candle bulbs, sold separately. It works with dimmable bulbs if you would like that control, though the bulbs themselves are not included.

Will the crystal drops look exactly like the photos?
The crystal drops are cut and hung individually, so there can be slight variation piece to piece. They will also look different lit compared to unlit, and screens can render the brass tone and crystal sparkle slightly differently to how they appear in person. If you are ever unsure, contact customer service before ordering.
