Details
A smooth half-sphere dome pendant in solid brass. The outside is a dark antique bronze, a brownish gunmetal with a soft satin sheen and gentle mottling, while the inside is polished bright brass that reflects a warm golden light. A thin plain rim and a small antique brass socket cap on a black cord keep the shape simple.
Seen from below, the bright interior glows against the dark outside, which works well over a kitchen island or a dining table. Hang a pair or a row, or one larger dome on its own.

Care and patina
The antique bronze finish outside is applied by hand; dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid polishes or harsh cleaners, which would strip it. The polished brass interior can be wiped with a soft cloth. See our Care and Patina Guide for more.
How it compares: Like our Oiled Black Brass Dome Pendant Light it pairs a dark outside with bright brass inside, but this dome is a deeper half-sphere, the outside is a brownish antique bronze rather than near-black, the interior is polished rather than lightly hammered, and it adds a 12 in size. Our Two-Tone Hammered Brass Dome Pendant Light has a similar two-tone look with a hammered surface; this one is smooth.

Size and hanging guide
Choosing a size. Pick the diameter in the selector above. As a rough guide, an 8 to 12 in shade suits a small island, a bedside or a breakfast nook, 14 to 18 in suits a standard island or dining table, and 22 in works as a single centrepiece over a large table.
- Kitchen islands: hang two or three pendants evenly spaced, with the bottom of each shade about 30 to 36 in above the counter.
- Dining tables: hang the bottom of the shade about 30 to 34 in above the tabletop, and choose a shade about half to two thirds of the table width.
- Cord length: measure from the ceiling to where you want the bottom of the shade, then choose the next cord length up.
Wiring and bulbs. Socket type and bulb details are listed in each product description. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Craftsmanship
Every shade is shaped and hammered by hand in our workshop in Fes, Morocco, a city where coppersmiths have worked the metal for centuries. Small variations in the hammer marks and patina are what make each piece one of a kind.
Materials and care
Solid copper or brass. Raw finishes deepen into a natural patina over time, while oxidized and bronze finishes are made to look aged from the start. Switch the light off and let the shade cool, then dust it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. Read our Care and Patina Guide.
Shipping and returns
Ready to ship pieces leave our New Jersey warehouse within 2 business days. Made to order pieces take about 2 weeks in the workshop in Fes, and we confirm timing with you before production. See our shipping policy and refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
Will the colour change over time?
Raw copper and brass develop a living patina that deepens and warms. Oxidized and bronze finishes already look aged and change more slowly.
Can you make a custom size or cord length?
Yes. Contact us with what you need and we will make it to order in Fes.
Is a bulb included?
Bulb and socket details are in each product description. Unless it says otherwise, the bulb is not included.
Do I need an electrician?
Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended for ceiling lights.
Where does it ship from?
Ready to ship pieces leave our New Jersey warehouse. The rest are hand-hammered to order in Fes, about 2 weeks in the workshop. The delivery note beside Add to cart shows which applies.
