Description
A small piece of metalwork that does a quiet, useful job: it holds the flex of a hanging light where you want it, so the cord above sits tidy rather than looped and slack. The kit comes as three pieces in antique brass, with a 10mm thread, a washer and a nut, and plastic grub screws that bear on the cable rather than bite into it. The tone is a warm, softly aged gold rather than a bright polish.
We reach for these where a pendant needs its drop taken up over a table, or where the cable management supplied with a fitting is plain plastic and looks it. They suit anyone assembling a pendant from separate parts, and they work equally well as a replacement on a light that is otherwise sound. Antique brass earns its place in kitchens and hallways alongside amber glass, aged copper or painted timber. We would pair it with a plaited cotton flex where the cord is on show. This is a non-electrical part, so it works with the flex of the light it belongs to.
Metal throughout bar the grub screws, which are plastic so they grip without scoring the cable. The aged finish asks little: an occasional pass with a dry soft cloth, and no metal polish, cream or solvent, since abrasives strip an antique tone faster than a plated one. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same kit in matt black, matt white, polished chrome, black chrome, satin nickel, polished nickel, antique silver, antique copper, gilt bronze, French gold and plain brass, and there are compression cord grips in black, white and clear where you would rather the hardware went unnoticed.

Frequently Asked
How many grips come in a kit?
Three, and each is supplied with a washer, a nut and plastic grub screws.
What thread does it have?
A 10mm thread, which is the common size used on pendant hardware.
Is it an electrical item?
No. It is a non-electrical accessory that works with the flex of the light it belongs to, so there is no lamp or socket involved.
How should the antique brass be cleaned?
A dry soft cloth is all it needs. Keep metal polishes, creams and solvents away, as they will cut back the aged tone.
Will the grub screws damage the cable?
They are plastic rather than metal, so they bear on the flex without scoring it.
Can I match it to other fittings in the same finish?
Yes. The same kit is made in matt black, matt white, polished chrome, black chrome, satin nickel, polished nickel, antique silver, antique copper, gilt bronze, French gold and plain brass.
