Pietra 2 Light Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - Antique Brass

The Pietra is a 2-light semi-flush ceiling light with curved antique brass stems that extend from a central ceiling plate, each holding a frosted floral glass shade. The shades are shaped like tulip blooms with clear glass accents along the petal edges, creating a contrast between the frosted body and the transparent rim. Each light takes a G9 bulb (sold separately), and the fitting is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs.

Designed for rooms with standard ceiling heights where a full pendant drop would be too low, the Pietra's 390mm total projection from ceiling to shade base keeps the fitting close to the ceiling while the curved stems give it a more decorative profile than a flat flush mount. The semi-flush format suits hallways, bedrooms, smaller lounges, and landing areas where ceiling clearance is limited but ambient lighting is needed. The two-light configuration provides enough output for a 3-4m room when paired with 40W-equivalent LED G9 bulbs.

The antique brass finish on the metal stems and ceiling plate shows a warm, slightly tarnished tone rather than a polished shine, giving the fitting a lived-in quality that pairs well with heritage interiors, warm-toned contemporary schemes, and transitional spaces that mix old and new elements. The frosted glass diffuses the light evenly across the shade surface, while the clear glass edges allow small points of brighter light to escape, adding visual interest when the fitting is on. The organic curve of the stems mirrors the floral form of the shades, creating a cohesive sculptural object that retains presence even when unlit.

What bulbs does the Pietra take?

The Pietra takes two G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. The fitting supports up to 80W total (40W per bulb), but most users pair it with LED G9 bulbs between 3-5W that produce equivalent output to a 30-40W halogen. Warm white (2700K-3000K) is the most common choice for ambient lighting.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, the fitting itself is compatible with dimmer switches. You must use dimmable G9 bulbs for dimming to work — standard non-dimmable LED bulbs will flicker or fail to dim properly.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The 390mm height from ceiling to the base of the shades makes the Pietra suitable for standard UK ceiling heights of 2.3-2.5m. In rooms with higher ceilings a full pendant light might be more appropriate, but the Pietra works where you need ceiling-mounted light without a long drop.

How is the glass shade cleaned?

The frosted glass shades can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth once the bulbs are removed and the fitting is switched off at the mains. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the frosted finish. The clear glass edges can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner if needed.
