Description
The Sparrowmere double hoop pendant in silver leaf takes a 600mm mink fabric shade, with a drop that adjusts from 600mm to 1980mm and three 10W E27 LED lamps inside. It is dimmable, weighs 3.7kg and is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. The pair of hoops sits outside the shade rather than inside it, which is what keeps the fitting from reading as a plain drum. Silver leaf gives a cooler, slightly aged metal tone that works with grey, blue and off white schemes better than a warm gold would.
This is the middle size in the Sparrowmere pendant range, and it is the one we recommend most often because 600mm suits so many rooms: over a round dining table, above a kitchen island, in a hallway with a reasonable ceiling, or centred in a main bedroom. Three lamps behind mink fabric give warm general light, and the wide adjustment on the drop means it can hang close under a low ceiling or reach down through a stairwell. On a dimmer it takes a room from bright and practical to low and settled in one movement.
The hoops and ceiling plate are metal in a silver leaf finish, with a fabric shade in mink. Construction is Class 1, so an earth connection is required and a qualified electrician should install it. Clean the shade dry, using a soft brush or the upholstery attachment on a vacuum, and never a damp cloth, which will mark fabric. Dust the metal with a dry cloth alone, since polishes lift leaf finishes. If the room needs more, the Sparrowmere XL takes a 700mm shade on five lamps, and matching wall lights and a table lamp share the same finish.

Frequently Asked
What is it made of?
A metal frame in a silver leaf finish, formed as two hoops, with a fabric shade in mink held between them.
What are its dimensions?
The shade is 600mm in diameter and the drop adjusts between 600mm and 1980mm, giving plenty of room to set the height.
How many bulbs does it need?
Three 10W E27 LED lamps. That is enough to light the shade evenly without a bright point showing through the fabric.
Is it dimmable?
Yes. Fit dimmable lamps and use a dimmer rated for LED loads, otherwise you may see flicker or hear buzzing at low settings.
How do I look after the shade?
Dry cleaning only. A soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool removes dust. Water leaves marks on fabric, so avoid damp cloths entirely.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. This one is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so keep it to dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms.
