Ribbed Glass & Brass Pendant

The Ribbed Glass Pendant Light pairs a fluted glass shade with warm brass hardware, a combination that has held its appeal because the two materials do different jobs. The brass gives the fixture weight and a warm metallic line at the ceiling; the ribbed glass breaks the light into vertical stripes as it passes through.

Those flutes are what separate this from a plain glass pendant. They catch highlights along their length, so the shade stays visually interesting when the light is off, and they soften the bulb behind them without dulling the output. The effect is best appreciated at eye level, which is why the fixture suits a low hang over a table or a counter.

Velleora Home Decor kept the brass unlacquered on the larger sizes so it develops a patina rather than staying uniformly bright. Drop length is adjustable at installation and the fitting takes a standard bulb. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and the glass cleaned with a dry cloth only.
