You've probably already considered and dismissed this, but if you want dimmable bulbs and split switches is it worth looking at Hue? They do filament-style bulbs now.
That's what we did when we wanted separate controls for lights that were on the same switch.

thanks @brokenbetty I will look into Hue, I’m assuming that control is via phone app.
The current lighting is good to work on the parquet flooring, shame it’s not improving my joinery skillz nor my dodgy eyesight, nor spelling/grammar.
Door threshold, meh

Or TCP Smart bulbs. Filament LED options available. I've got them in the external front and rear lights. Quite handy, as both mechanical switches are obscured by bookcases. I turn them on and off with Alexa, who is now the entity I speak with most often.

Haha.. going from 1800K to 2700K isn’t too significant a switch, the amber coating on the bulbs is washing the room with sepia tones. So my plan is to go from 5.5w globe to 2w clear golf ball or radio valve type lamps, with glow of the led filament for decorative use. Making the fitting dimmerable means that I can adjust chandelier level down and offset with localised pools of light or use the fireplace
