Description
This is a small piece of hardware doing a quiet but useful job. It measures 15mm across and only a few millimetres deep, sitting between a nut and whatever that nut is tightening against, so the pressure is spread and the surface underneath is left unmarked. The finish is gilt bronze, a warm brown-gold with an antique cast to it, meant to sit alongside fittings of the same tone rather than draw the eye.
Most of these go out with pendant work: making up a hanging light, holding a shade carrier square on a threaded rod, or steadying a backplate where a bare nut would bite into the metal. It is exactly the sort of part that vanishes when an older fitting is taken apart on the kitchen table, which is why we sell it singly. It suits anyone assembling or repairing a light by hand, and we would put a spare or two by when you are ordering the rest of the pieces for a project.
It is a solid little metal part, plated so the colour is consistent with the other gilt bronze items we keep, including the metal cable grip kit offered in the same finish within this range. Treat the plating kindly and it will hold its warmth: a clean dry cloth is all it wants, while household sprays and abrasive creams will dull the surface quicker than anything else. There is nothing electrical to consider here, though it belongs in indoor fittings, well away from damp. It carries a one year warranty. Sold as a single washer.

Frequently Asked
What size is this washer?
It is 15mm in diameter and 6mm deep, so it sits neatly under a nut or thumb nut without spreading much wider than the fixing itself.
How many washers are included?
One. It is sold as a single piece, which makes it easy to buy just the number you need for a repair or a build.
What does gilt bronze look like?
A warm brown-gold with an aged quality to it. It reads softer and darker than a bright brass and pairs well with bronze-toned pendants and shade fittings.
How do I keep the finish looking right?
Wipe it with a dry cloth and nothing more. Polishes, solvents and cream cleaners will take the shine off plating, so keep them away from it.
Is there any electrical part to this?
No, it is purely a mechanical component with no wiring or lamp connection. It is intended for use in indoor light fittings.
Is it covered by a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty from the maker.
