Description
The Cortina is a 200mm square crystal wall light with two pivoting antique brass rings, each wrapped in strands of clear Asfour crystal squares arranged in a grid pattern. Both rings rotate independently on a central axis, allowing the crystal configuration to be adjusted from a tight cylinder to an open double-helix depending on how the rings are positioned. Two G9 bulbs sit inside the rings, casting light through the faceted crystal squares and onto surrounding walls.
Designed for hallways, living room alcoves, and flanking positions either side of mirrors or fireplaces, the Cortina works as both functional wall lighting and a decorative focal point. The 120mm projection from the wall gives the fitting presence without encroaching into tight circulation spaces. The pivoting ring mechanism allows the fitting to be reconfigured seasonally or to suit changing interior schemes without removing it from the wall. The antique brass finish provides a warmer, aged metallic tone that pairs well with traditional and transitional interiors, contrasting with the high-sparkle clarity of the crystal.
The Asfour crystal squares are cut with a pyramid facet on each face, which breaks light into spectrum colours when direct sunlight or a strong bulb illuminates them. The crystal strands are fixed to the brass rings with metal pins, giving a structured, geometric appearance rather than the looser draping of rounded crystal droplets. At 1kg, the fitting mounts securely to standard UK backboxes without needing additional support. The antique brass has a slightly oxidised patina that varies between pieces, adding depth to the finish.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Cortina take?
The fitting takes two G9 capsule bulbs up to 33W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with LED G9 bulbs between 2.5W and 5W in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient hallway or living room lighting. Dimmable bulbs are required if you intend to use a dimmer switch.
Can the crystal rings be adjusted after installation?
Yes. Both rings pivot independently on the central axis, allowing you to rotate them to change the crystal configuration from a tight cylinder to an open arrangement. This can be done by hand once the fitting is installed, without tools.
What's the projection from the wall?
The fitting projects 120mm from the wall once mounted. This gives the crystal rings visual presence without extending too far into tight hallways or circulation spaces.
How is the crystal attached to the brass rings?
Each Asfour crystal square is fixed to the brass rings with metal pins, creating a structured grid pattern. The crystals do not drape loosely—they hold a consistent geometric configuration on each ring.
