Details
A wide, shallow dome pendant in solid brass, with a smooth exterior darkened to an oiled, almost black finish with warm bronze tones. Inside, the brass is left bright and lightly hammered, so the shade reflects a warm golden light down onto the table. A short cylindrical socket housing in the same dark finish sits on top, on a black fabric cord with a matching ceiling canopy.
The contrast of dark outside and gold inside works over a kitchen island, a dining table or a workspace. The dark finish is a hand-applied patina, so it can show soft variation and gentle wear at the edges, which is part of its character.

Care and patina
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid brass polish, harsh cleaners and abrasive pads on the dark exterior, as they would remove the oiled finish. The bright interior can be wiped gently with a dry cloth. See our Care and Patina Guide for more.
How it compares: Smooth and almost black outside. For a dark finish with a hammered texture, see our Two-Tone Hammered Brass Dome Pendant.

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

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?

Where does it ship from?
