Description
This is a bare fitting rather than a finished light: an antique brass ceiling plate that sits close overhead, with five E27 lampholders set beneath it, each ready to take a shade of your choosing. The plate measures 28cm across, so the light comes from a spread of points across the ceiling rather than from the middle alone. Given dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer, it will dim.
It earns its place where a hanging pendant would be in the way: a hall, a landing, a bedroom with a modest ceiling height, or a dining room where you want fabric shades sitting close to the plaster. Because the shades are yours to pick, the fitting is as quiet or as bold as you care to make it. We would fit LED GLS lamps here, up to 20W in each holder, and choose a shade design repeated across all the holders so the group holds together.
The plate and holders carry an antique brass finish, warm and slightly aged in tone, which sits happily with older woodwork and with warm white lamps. To keep it looking right, dust the plate and the holders with a dry cloth while the power is off, and keep metal polish and household sprays well away from the aged surface, as they will lift the tone unevenly. It carries a one year warranty. Elsewhere in the range we stock a compact semi flush in the same antique brass, along with satin nickel, polished chrome and satin black versions of it, plus linear pendants in antique brass for over a table. Lamps and shades are bought separately.

Frequently Asked
Are shades included?
No. The holders are sold as a universal fitting, so you choose the shades and buy them separately, which is what makes it worth pairing with a shade you already like.
What lamps does it take?
Five E27 lamps, each up to 20W. LED GLS lamps in the A60 shape are the sensible choice and the ones we would reach for.
How much room does it need below the ceiling?
The fitting is 280mm in diameter and 330mm tall overall, before any shades are added, so allow a little extra depth for the shades you choose.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable lamps and pair them with a dimmer suited to LED loads.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry rooms such as halls, bedrooms and living spaces.
How should I clean the brass?
A dry, soft cloth with the power off is all it needs. Avoid brass polish, cream cleaners and sprays, which will patch the aged finish.
