The design

A Flame Was Never Pointing Down

Put the light back on top of the ring and everything else follows.

For four centuries a chandelier was a rim with candles standing on it — nothing above them, nothing hanging below, and the centre left empty because there was nothing to put there. That was not a stylistic choice. A flame throws its light upward and outward and almost none of it downward, so the only sensible place for it was on top of the rim, pointing at the ceiling.

Then bulbs arrived and the logic inverted. A bulb can point in any direction, so designers turned it downward and hung a shade underneath to stop the glare. It worked, but something was lost with it: the ceiling went dark, and the brightest object in the room ended up at eye level across the table.

simply puts it back. The tapers stand upright on an open ring with no shade, no diffuser and nothing crossing over the top, so the light rises, meets the ceiling, and comes back down having been softened by the room itself rather than by a piece of glass. Look up from underneath and you see your own ceiling through the middle — which is why a fixture six feet across still reads as an outline rather than a mass. In brass it looks like it has always been there; in black it becomes a drawing; in nickel, an instrument.

Brass Painted steel

Read this before ordering. As supplied it is 72.8″ from the ceiling to the bottom of the fixture — six feet — because the stem alone is 39.4″.

The stem is rigid, not a chain, so it cannot be shortened on installation day. What you get in return is a fixture that hangs perfectly level and never swings or slowly turns. But the height is decided when it's made.

So measure first: from your ceiling down to where you want the bottom of the fixture. Over a dining table that's 30–36″ above the tabletop. Send us that number with your order and we'll confirm the stem length before anything is built. [__ STEM — confirm options]

Not if it's hung at the right height — and that's the thing to get right on this fixture.

The tapers point upward, so the light goes to the ceiling and comes back down softened rather than shining at you. But there are no shades, so if it hangs too low you will be looking straight at the bulbs across the table. Keep the tapers above the eyeline of someone seated and it's comfortable all evening.

Yes — bulbs are included. On a fixture with no shades the bulbs are the part you actually see, so they come fitted and every one matches from day one. On a 16-light ring that's sixteen bulbs you don't have to go and buy.

If you replace one later, use the same type throughout. Mixing brands on a bare-taper fixture shows immediately — one slightly whiter bulb in a ring of sixteen is obvious.

Yes, but the bulbs supplied as standard are not dimmable, so you'd need to swap them. Fit dimmable E12 or E14 bulbs in every socket — not just some — and pair them with a dimmer switch.

One thing to mention to your electrician: add up the wattage of all the bulbs together and check the dimmer is rated for that total. On a 16-light fixture it's a bigger number than most people expect.

Small candle bulbs — E12 in the US and Canada, E14 in Europe and most of Asia, up to 40W each. If you're buying replacements, choose warm white around 2700K; cool white light on a brass fixture turns the metal grey and loses the whole point of it.

Match the shape to what sits underneath. A ring goes over a round table or in the middle of an entry. A bar runs along a rectangular table or a kitchen island.

Worth double-checking, because three different fixtures are labelled "12 Lights" — one round at 59.8″ and two linear at 53.9″ and 66.9″. Check the shape before the count.

Check before ordering, especially on the larger rings — a six-foot brass ring is genuinely heavy and all of it hangs from one point. Your electrician needs to confirm the ceiling box is rated for the weight and fixed into the structure above, not just plasterboard. A fixture this size often needs a brace fitted first. Ask us for the exact weight and pass it on.

Switch off, let the bulbs cool, then wipe the ring with a soft dry cloth — barely damp for fingerprints, then dry it off. The glass tapers take the same treatment.

No metal polish and nothing abrasive. The finish is applied to the brass, and polish designed for bare metal will cut straight through it. Twice a year is plenty.

No. It's rated IP20 — indoor dry rooms only, with no protection against water or steam. Dining rooms, kitchens, entries, living rooms and bedrooms are all fine.
