Description
The Banyan hangs a wide drum shade in grey faux silk from a slim chain, with three arms fanning out beneath the fabric to hold candle lamps. The metalwork is finished in satin nickel, a soft brushed silver that keeps the fitting quiet rather than showy. At 45cm across, the shade reads as a proper shape in a room without crowding it. The 1.5m chain gives plenty of scope to set the height, so the pendant can sit well up in a hallway or hang lower over a table.
We reach for this one where a single lamp pendant would look thin: over a dining table, in a sitting room with a fair ceiling height, or centred on a wide landing. Each arm takes an E14 candle lamp, and we would fit warm white LED candles for a soft, even light through the fabric. Dimming is possible if you choose dimmable lamps, which suits long dinners and quieter evenings. It belongs in dry rooms indoors, so keep it clear of shower rooms and anywhere steam gathers. Light passes through the fabric rather than glaring straight down, which is easier over seating.
The shade pairs faux silk on the outside with a white laminate lining, which throws light down and keeps the grey looking clean. Chain, ceiling plate and arms all carry the same satin nickel finish. For upkeep, take a soft brush over the fabric now and then to lift dust, then wipe the metal with a dry cloth; sprays and polish do the shade no favours. It carries a one year warranty. Grey with satin nickel sits happily against pale walls, oak and cooler paint colours, and lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
Which lamps should I use?
Three E14 candle lamps, one per arm. LED candle (C35) types are the sensible choice, rated up to 20W each. Lamps are supplied separately.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, provided the candle lamps you fit are themselves dimmable. A dimmer is not supplied with the pendant.
How low will it hang?
The drop runs from 340mm at its shortest to 1800mm at full chain length, with a body height of 220mm, so you can set it high in a hall or bring it down over a table.
What is the shade made from?
Faux silk in grey, with a white laminate lining inside. It measures 45cm across by 15cm deep.
How do I keep it looking right?
Switch the light off at the wall first. Lift dust from the fabric with a soft brush or the upholstery head of a vacuum on low, and wipe the satin nickel with a dry cloth. Avoid cleaning sprays on the shade.
