Details
An open cylinder drum pendant in hand-hammered copper, finished with a fire-oxidized patina of burnt orange, rust red and near-black patches. A single narrow seam band runs down one side in bright, silvery hammered metal, and an antique brass knurled socket hangs inside the top of the drum on a black fabric cord.
The drum is wider than it is tall and open at the top and bottom, so it casts light both down onto the table and up toward the ceiling. Hang it over a kitchen island or a dining table where the colours of the patina can be seen. The oxidized finish is a living surface that keeps maturing slowly over time.

Care and patina
The oxidized copper finish is meant to look aged and will keep developing slowly. Dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid polishes or harsh cleaners, which would strip the patina. See our Care and Patina Guide for more.
How it compares: Fire-oxidized copper with a bright seam band. For the same drum shape in bright hammered brass, see our Hammered Brass Drum 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
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.

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?
