Quintiesse Blacksmith Outdoor Chandelier

Choosing a chandelier for an outdoor space brings one immediate question: can it actually handle the elements? Many decorative pendants are indoor-only, and specifying the wrong fitting in an exposed or semi-exposed area creates real problems — water ingress, corrosion, and early failure being the most common.

For outdoor use, IP rating is the deciding factor. IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction — making it well suited to covered terraces, pergolas, porches, and outdoor dining areas. It is not rated for direct rainfall exposure, so a degree of overhead shelter is advisable. This rating also qualifies the fitting for use in bathroom zones where IP44 is required.

The Quintiesse Blacksmith Outdoor Chandelier is a four-light, ceiling-suspended fitting engineered for decorative outdoor use. The spherical orb frame is built from intersecting spiralling metalwork finished in old black — a weathered coating with mottled accents of charcoal and dark silver that gives the fixture a smoky, almost hand-forged character. Four cylindrical shades in opal etched frosted glass house the candle lamps, enclosing them fully to maintain the IP44 seal while diffusing the light to a warm ambient glow.

The design sits at an interesting crossroads: the ironwork references traditional blacksmithing craft while the clean cylindrical glass elements keep the aesthetic grounded and contemporary. Suspended via an adjustable chain and circular ceiling canopy, the hanging height can be set during installation to suit the space. With no variants listed, this is a single-finish product — the old black finish with its charcoal and dark silver highlights is the defining aesthetic statement.

The fitting takes 4 x E14 candle-style lamps up to 40W each, or LED equivalents — bulbs are not included. There is no integrated LED or driver to factor in; lamp choice is yours, which makes it straightforward to select the colour temperature and output that suits your project. Quintiesse supplies this range with a 3-year anti-corrosion warranty, though this excludes locations within 5 miles of the coastline — worth noting for Mallorcan coastal projects where a marine-grade or fully sealed alternative may be more appropriate.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with fittings like the Blacksmith precisely because the specification detail matters as much as the aesthetic. Knowing the IP rating, warranty limitations, and lamp compatibility upfront prevents costly surprises on site. If your project sits near the coast or in a fully exposed position, we can help you identify a suitable alternative — that is value engineering in practice, not an upsell.
