Large Brass Pendant Light — Craftsmanship, Scale & Placement
At 80cm in diameter, this is a genuinely large shade — it commands space and works best as a solo statement piece rather than in a cluster. The handmade brass finish means each unit carries subtle variations in tone and texture; this is a characteristic of hand-worked metal, not a defect, and contributes to its bespoke quality. Brass is a living finish: it will develop a natural patina over time, deepening in warmth — if you prefer to maintain the original brightness, a light polish with a brass-safe cloth will restore it. For the best light quality, use a warm E27 LED (2700K, 6–8W) — the brass interior will amplify and warm the glow. This fixture is hardwired and rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor spaces only. There is no built-in dimmer — dimmability depends on your bulb and ceiling switch compatibility.
This pendant is best suited to large dining rooms, entrance halls, or open-plan living areas where its 80cm span can be appreciated without feeling cramped. For a dining table, hang it so the bottom of the shade sits 75–85cm above the surface — the adjustable cable makes this straightforward to set before installation. Its warm brass tone pairs naturally with dark timber, marble, and deep wall colours.

Common questions
Will the brass finish tarnish or change colour over time?
+
Brass is a living finish — it naturally develops a patina over time, shifting from bright gold toward a deeper, warmer amber tone. Many customers appreciate this evolution as it adds character. If you prefer to maintain the original brightness, polish occasionally with a soft cloth and a brass-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads which will scratch the surface.
My unit looks slightly different from the product photo — is that normal?
+
Yes, this is expected. Because the shade is handmade, each unit carries subtle variations in tone, texture, and finish. These are characteristics of hand-worked metal and contribute to the bespoke quality of the piece — no two units are identical.
What ceiling height do I need for an 80cm shade?
+
For a dining table installation, we recommend a minimum ceiling height of 2.6m so the shade sits 75–85cm above the table without the cable looking cramped. For rooms where people walk beneath it, ensure at least 2.1m clearance from floor to the lowest point of the shade.
Is this pendant light dimmable?
+
The fixture has no built-in dimmer. To dim the light, you need a dimmable-rated E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer ceiling switch. Check both before purchasing a dimmer module.
Does this pendant need to be installed by an electrician?
+
Yes. This is a hardwired pendant with no plug — it connects directly to your ceiling wiring. Given the size and weight of the 80cm shade, we strongly recommend installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safe ceiling fixing and correct electrical connection.
