Quintiesse Blacksmith Outdoor Chandelier

Specifying a chandelier for an outdoor living area or covered terrace means balancing two competing demands: the piece needs genuine decorative presence, and it needs to handle moisture without compromise. Choose something that looks the part but isn't properly rated, and you're looking at premature failure, safety issues, and an expensive reinstall.

IP44 is the rating to look for in this context. It means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water splashing from any direction — suitable for covered exterior spaces, pergolas, and bathrooms classified as Zone 2 or beyond. The key word is 'enclosed': the lamp holders need to be properly shielded, not just decoratively covered.

The Quintiesse Blacksmith Outdoor Chandelier delivers on both fronts. Its three lamp holders sit inside individual enclosed cylinders of opal etched glass — watertight by design, not by luck — set within a bold orb-shaped frame of spiral ironwork finished in old black with charcoal and dark silver accents. The result is a smoke-like, multi-toned surface that reads nothing like a flat-painted fixture. Quintiesse back this with a 3-year anti-corrosion warranty, though it's worth noting that exclusion within 5 miles of the coastline — relevant for many Mallorca locations, so worth flagging early in specification.

The design intent here is confident and unapologetic: blacksmith-inspired ironwork that twists in wide ribbon-like bands from canopy to base, open and airy in geometry despite the visual weight of the metalwork. The combination of industrial ironwork and clean cylindrical glass diffusers gives it genuine versatility — as at home above a rustic outdoor dining table as it is in a contemporary covered terrace setting. This product is offered in one finish configuration.

The fitting suspends from a circular ceiling canopy via a heavy-duty link chain, with a drop range of 564mm to 3,038mm — adjusted during installation by removing or adding chain links. The fixture takes 3 × 40W E14 candle-style lamps (Edison Screw small base), or LED equivalents, none of which are included. Dimensions are 483mm height × 407mm diameter. No driver or transformer is required for this lamp-based fitting; simply ensure your chosen E14 LED candle bulbs are rated for enclosed fittings if going the LED route.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work through specification decisions like this one before they become site problems — IP rating versus location, chain drop versus ceiling height, lamp choice versus dimmer compatibility. The Quintiesse Blacksmith is a well-engineered piece from a Belgian brand with a track record in decorative specification, and it earns its place in a curated exterior scheme. If you need help confirming suitability for your specific zone or coordinating delivery around your project programme, we're here for that conversation.
