London Lantern Pendant Crossbar Large Brass

The London Lantern Pendant is built around a crossbar frame in aged brass, holding four exposed lamps within its geometry rather than hiding them behind glass. It's designed for the spaces that set the tone for a whole home — hallways, entrance halls, stairwells — where the ceiling has the height to let a fitting hang properly. At 61cm tall, it has the scale to hold a double-height space, reading as a fixture rather than an afterthought. The crossbar construction means the bulbs themselves become part of the fitting's character, so at night the piece glows from within its own frame rather than casting light from a hidden source. Aged brass takes on warmth as it catches whatever light passes through it, and over time it settles further into the kind of patina that period plasterwork and original floorboards already carry — the effect is of something that has always hung there, not something recently installed. It takes four E27 Edison screw bulbs, 40W maximum each (not included), fitted to an adjustable 2000mm chain that allows the total drop to be set to the space — useful in stairwells where the ceiling height varies from the landing to the hall below. The fitting carries an IP20 rating, suitable for dry indoor settings only, and we'd recommend installation by a qualified electrician given its weight and scale. This piece comes from Soho Lighting in aged brass as its single finish — a deliberate choice rather than an oversight, keeping the collection focused on the one material that suits its period, industrial-heritage character. At 9.65kg it's a substantial fitting, and that weight is part of its presence rather than a drawback to work around.
