Description
The shade here is a wide grey drum, 50cm across, faux silk over a white laminate lining, held close to the ceiling on an antique brass frame. Beneath it, a frosted acrylic diffuser ringed in antique brass closes off the base, so the light comes down as a soft wash rather than a bare glare. One E27 lamp sits inside, and an LED GLS is what we would put in it. Dimming is possible with a suitable lamp and a compatible dimmer, though neither comes with the fitting.
Because the body stays shallow, this is a good answer for rooms where a hanging shade would be in the way: hallways and landings, a bedroom with a lower ceiling, a small dining room, or the head of a staircase. The fabric drum gives the warmth of a shaded pendant while keeping the ceiling line clear, and the frosted base can be looked at from directly below without discomfort. It suits anyone furnishing in soft greys and warm metals. Keep it to dry rooms; steam and weather are not its territory.
The frame and trim carry an antique brass finish, warm and slightly aged rather than bright, and the shade is a laminated fabric that holds its round shape well. For upkeep, run a soft brush or the lightest vacuum over the fabric now and then, and lift dust from the diffuser with a dry microfibre cloth once the power is off and the fitting is cool. It carries a one year warranty. Antique brass runs through the wider range, in linear pendants and in a smaller semi flush frame made to take a shade of your own choosing, so keeping one metal across several rooms is straightforward. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take, and how powerful can it be?
It takes a single E27 lamp of up to 20W. An LED GLS (A60) shape is the sensible choice and is what we would fit.
How far does it drop from the ceiling?
Overall height is 395mm, with the body itself at 200mm, so it stays close to the ceiling for a fitting of this width.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. Neither the lamp nor a dimmer is supplied.
What is the shade made of?
A grey faux silk outer over a grey and white laminate, which is why it keeps a clean drum shape rather than sagging.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms away from splashes and steam.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.4kg, light for a 50cm shaded fitting.
