How high should I hang my fitting?

Ceiling fittings should hang high enough to allow comfortable clearance underneath, typically leaving at least seven feet of space to the floor in open rooms. Over dining tables or in hallways, fixtures can be positioned slightly lower to create a more intimate pool of light.

Can these lights take modern bulbs?

Most antique fixtures accept standard modern lamp holders once wired to current safety standards by a qualified electrician. It is wise to check the internal wiring and socket dimensions before installation to ensure compatibility with contemporary LED lamps.

How do I clean brass and crystal?

Dust brass components gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip away the historic patina. Crystal drops can be washed in warm soapy water and dried thoroughly before reattaching them to the frame.

What rooms suit a four light fitting?

A four light arrangement provides balanced illumination suitable for medium-sized reception rooms, bedrooms, and entrance halls. The distributed light points prevent harsh shadows while maintaining a manageable scale for standard ceiling heights.
