Description
The Convertix is a single-outlet ceiling rose finished in antique brass, with a concentric circular design that provides both structural mounting for pendant lights and a decorative cover for ceiling wiring exits. The antique brass finish shows a muted patina with darker tonal variation across the surface, giving the fitting an aged appearance that pairs with traditional, industrial and transitional interior styles.
Designed as a retrofit or new-build ceiling accessory, the rose screws directly to a standard UK ceiling back box and conceals the wiring exit point behind its circular face. The central outlet accepts pendant cord or chain, allowing the rose to support decorative pendants, industrial bare-bulb fittings, or hand-blown glass shades. The warm brass tone coordinates with fixtures in gold, bronze, antique brass or matte black finishes, and sits comfortably against painted ceilings, exposed timber beams and textured plaster.
The circular profile sits flush to the ceiling once installed, with the concentric rings adding depth and visual interest without projecting significantly into the room. The antique brass finish is more subdued than polished brass, making it a practical choice for rooms where a warmer metallic accent is needed without the high reflectivity of polished or chrome finishes. Suitable for dining rooms, entrance halls, reading corners and period properties where coordinated hardware contributes to the overall interior scheme.

Frequently Asked
What does the ceiling rose do?
The ceiling rose provides a decorative cover for the ceiling wiring exit point and a structural mounting plate for pendant light fittings. It screws directly to a standard UK ceiling back box and the pendant cord or chain runs through the central outlet.
Can it be fitted to any ceiling?
The rose fits standard UK ceiling back boxes. It requires a secure fixing point in the ceiling structure — either a joist, noggin or plasterboard fixing rated for the weight of the pendant being suspended. Always check the combined weight of the rose and pendant before installation.
How does antique brass differ from polished brass?
Antique brass has a muted, patinated finish with darker tonal variation and lower reflectivity. Polished brass is bright, highly reflective and shows a uniform golden colour. Antique brass suits traditional and industrial schemes; polished brass suits classical and formal interiors.
What pendant styles pair well with this rose?
The antique brass finish coordinates with pendants in matching antique brass, bronze, gold, matte black or aged metal finishes. It pairs particularly well with industrial bare-bulb fittings, vintage-style Edison bulbs, hand-blown glass shades and fabric drum shades in warm tones.
