Details

A slim cylinder pendant in solid unlacquered brass, a little taller than it is wide, hand-hammered all over with small irregular facets. It is open at the bottom, and an antique brass socket with knurled rings sits on a thin crossbar inside the top, on a black fabric cord.

Compact enough to hang in a row of three over an island, in a small kitchen, or low on either side of a bed. Unlacquered brass mellows slowly to a softer, warmer patina over time.

Care and patina

Raw brass darkens and develops a soft patina over time. Dust with a soft dry cloth; to bring back the shine, use a gentle brass polish, or leave it to age naturally. See our Care and Patina Guide for more.

How it compares: Narrower and taller than our Hammered Brass Drum Pendant, which is wider than it is tall. A good choice where a drum would feel too big, such as over a small island or beside a bed.

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.

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.
