Description
Small parts decide whether a light fitting looks finished or not. This one is a washer in French Gold, 15mm across and 6mm deep, shaped to sit under a nut and spread its bearing evenly on the face beneath. It comes as a single piece, so you can buy the exact count a job needs rather than a pack with three left over. There is not much to it on its own, and that is rather the point: the eye should stop at the shade, not at the threaded end holding it.
It suits anyone putting together, or putting right, a piece of decorative lighting. A pendant getting new flex. A shade carrier that wants a neat ring of gold where two parts meet. A fitting whose original washer has gone dull, or gone missing altogether. We reach for these when everything else on a fitting is French Gold and a plain nickel washer would sit there like a patch. Being non-electrical, it draws nothing and takes no lamp of its own, so whatever the host fitting is specified for is what you buy.
The gold is warm and quietly aged rather than mirror bright, so it keeps company with antique brass and gilt bronze rather better than it does with hard chrome. Looking after it is mostly a matter of leaving it alone: a dry cloth when dust settles, and none of the metal polishes or cream cleaners, which will wear a plated finish away long before ordinary use does. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same French Gold on the metal cable grip kit in this range, so a rebuild can be matched throughout, and the range also runs through matt black, matt white, antique copper, polished chrome, black chrome and satin nickel.

Frequently Asked
What size is this washer?
It is 15mm in diameter and 6mm high, so it tucks under a nut without adding noticeable bulk to the joint.
How many washers do I get?
One. It is sold as a single piece, which makes it easy to order the precise number a fitting or a repair calls for.
Is there any wiring or lamp involved?
No. It is a non-electrical part, so it carries no lamp and makes no connection. It is intended for dry indoor rooms.
How should I clean it?
A soft dry cloth is all it wants. Keep polishes, creams and solvents away from it, as a plated finish will not take abrasion.
Will it match other French Gold parts?
Yes. We stock the metal cable grip kit in the same French Gold, so the small metalwork on a fitting can be kept consistent.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
