Elstead Marquette Chandelier

Choosing a chandelier for a principal room carries real weight. Get the style or scale wrong, and it defines the space for all the wrong reasons. The Marquette is the kind of piece that rewards careful specification: its ornate detail and aged finish need to be understood before they can be placed with confidence.

For a chandelier like this, the key decisions are scale, light source, and dimming. The Marquette uses two candelabra-style E14 sockets designed for flame-shaped bulbs — a lamped format, meaning you choose your own bulbs and can control warmth, output, and dimmability independently. IP20 is the rating here, meaning it is suitable for dry interior rooms only — not bathrooms or covered outdoor areas. IP ratings define the level of protection against moisture and dust, and IP20 covers standard interior use.

The Elstead Marquette Chandelier is a two-light decorative ceiling fitting from Elstead Lighting, a well-established British manufacturer with a long history of traditional and transitional interior lighting. The Marquette range delivers a formal, stately aesthetic rooted in traditional European scrollwork, multi-faceted crystal drops, and a richly detailed aged metal finish. It is well suited to principal reception rooms, entrance halls, dining rooms, or any interior space calling for a centrepiece with genuine presence.

The frame is built around a central vertical column with two outward-curving scrollwork arms, adorned with symmetrically arranged clear crystal pendeloques and bead chains suspended at multiple tiers. The Heirloom finish presents as a deep, textured bronze with mottled antique gold highlights — a distressed, multi-tonal treatment that contrasts beautifully with the clarity of the crystal elements. The fixture suspends from a chain with a top-mounted loop, allowing drop height to be adjusted at installation.

The Marquette is rated IP20 for dry interior use. It accommodates two E14 candelabra bulbs — lamps are not included, giving you the flexibility to select the colour temperature and dimming type that suits your project. If dimming is required, ensure your chosen bulbs are dimmable and that your dimmer switch is compatible with the lamp type selected. A 2-year manufacturer's warranty is included.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with Elstead because their traditional ranges translate reliably from specification to installation — the finishes are consistent, the quality is predictable, and the lead times are manageable. If you are coordinating a full interior scheme, we can help align this piece with complementary fittings, advise on the right bulb specification, and ensure the product arrives when your project needs it.
