Dorchester - Antique Brass 4 Light Flush with Crystal Pyramid Drops

The Dorchester combines an antique brass metal frame with clear crystal decoration. Its warm metallic finish provides a classic contrast to the transparent crystal elements, creating a chandelier-inspired appearance.

Clear crystal buttons and faceted hanging drops form the main decorative feature. Their different surfaces reflect and refract light, producing highlights across the fitting when illuminated. The cascading arrangement adds depth and movement to the overall design.

With a diameter of 36 cm and an overall height of 40 cm, the fitting has a relatively compact footprint while retaining the visual character of a decorative crystal chandelier. Its fixed ceiling-mounted construction avoids the need for a long suspension.

The Dorchester uses four replaceable E14 candle-shaped bulbs, positioned within the decorative crystal arrangement. Multiple light sources help distribute illumination across the fitting, while the clear crystal buttons and drops reflect and refract the light.

Compatible E14 LED candle bulbs can be used, providing a choice of brightness and colour temperature. Warm white bulbs can help create a softer atmosphere in bedrooms and living rooms, while brighter options may be more suitable for general room lighting.

The bulbs are not included and must be purchased separately. The manufacturer specifies a traditional maximum of 60W per bulb. Where a product-specific LED maximum is not stated, an LED replacement of up to 8W per bulb is recommended.

The fitting is compatible with dimmable E14 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.
