Ryewold Handmade Champagne 5 Light Pendant - Brushed Aged Brass

The Ryewold is a five light pendant that sets brushed aged brass against handmade champagne glass. Each shade is blown by hand, so the depth of tint and the movement in the glass vary a little from one to the next, and the champagne colour warms the light as it passes through. The frame spans 580mm and hangs on an adjustable suspension with a drop from 500mm to 1900mm, so this ceiling light can sit low over a table or high in a tall space. Five E14 lamp holders take 7W LED bulbs, and the fitting is dimmable, so one pendant covers both a bright working level and a low evening glow.

We would hang it over a dining table, a kitchen island or a wide console in a hallway, where the spread of shades reads well from every angle. At 580mm across it wants a little clear space around it rather than a tight landing, and the long drop range makes it workable in a double height hall or above a stair void. It suits anyone after warmth and a touch of shine without the weight of a full chandelier, and the brass tone settles easily beside oak, walnut, deep green paint and warm white walls.

The body is metal finished in brushed aged brass, muted rather than bright, which keeps fingerprints and light marks from showing. Shades are held in a staggered arrangement so the pendant keeps some depth when seen from below. For cleaning, switch it off and let the bulbs cool, then dust the glass with a dry microfibre cloth and wipe the metal with the same cloth barely damp. Skip sprays and cream cleaners, as both dull a plated surface over time. At 8.1kg the Ryewold needs a fixing point rated for the load, and it sits well in a room already working with warm metals.

What is the Ryewold pendant made from?

The frame and arms are metal in a brushed aged brass finish, and the five shades are handmade champagne tinted glass.

How do I clean the champagne glass?

Switch the light off, let the bulbs cool, then dust each shade with a dry microfibre cloth and wipe the brass with the same cloth barely damp. Avoid sprays and cream cleaners.

How low will it hang?

The drop adjusts from 500mm to 1900mm, so it can sit close under a standard ceiling or fall well down in a tall hall.

What bulbs does it take?

Five E14 bulbs at 7W each, and the fitting is dimmable when wired to a compatible dimmer switch.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so it should not go anywhere it may be splashed.

Will every shade look the same?

Not exactly. The glass is made by hand, so tint and pattern vary a little from shade to shade.
