Brass Dome · Mold-Blown Clear Glass · G9 Bi-Pin
A reimagined classic — the Darby pairs a soft, light-diffusing brass dome with a slender mold-blown Opaque glass cylinder that lets the bulb's filament show through with quiet character. The glass is intentionally transparent, with a subtle hand-textured surface that catches and refracts light. Refined warmth and timeless charm in equal measure.

FAQ
Is the glass cylinder clear or frosted? +
The glass is frosted — mold-blown with a subtle hand-textured surface that gently catches the light. The bulb is visible through the glass when the lamp is lit, which is part of the Darby's design intent. Because of this, your bulb choice has a strong visual effect.
Which bulb do you recommend? +
A G9 bi-pin LED bulb in warm white (2700K), at 3–4W. Because the glass is transparent, the bulb's appearance matters: choose a small, slim G9 LED with a clean, narrow profile — vintage-style filament G9 bulbs look particularly elegant. Avoid oversized capsule bulbs that may show too prominently or sit too low in the cylinder.
What does "Vibration Brushed Bronze" actually look like? +
It's a warm, slightly weathered bronze tone with a fine vibration-brushed surface texture — not a high-gloss finish. The brushwork softens the bronze and gives it a hand-finished, tactile quality. Black and Nickel are flatter, more uniform finishes by comparison.
How big is this lamp? Will it look right above my bedside? +
The Darby is slim and tall — 12.5 cm wide and 51 cm tall (∅ 4.9″ × H 20.1″). It works beautifully as a vertical accent above a bedside table, beside a mirror, or framing an entryway. For wider spaces or as the only light source over a bed, consider pairing two side by side.
Is the lamp dimmable? +
Yes — paired with a dimmable G9 LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Darby dims smoothly. Note: not all G9 LEDs are dimmable, so check the bulb specifications before purchasing.
Will the brass develop a patina? +
The Vibration Brushed Bronze finish is sealed and stable — it will not patina or tarnish significantly under normal indoor conditions. Black and Nickel finishes are also stable. If you prefer a finish that ages naturally over time, look at our other unsealed brass collections.
How do I clean the glass? +
Switch off the wall power and let the bulb cool. Wipe the clear glass cylinder with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner — because the surface is textured, fingerprints and dust show easily, but they wipe off cleanly. Dust the brass body with a soft dry cloth.

Product features
Product features
- Hand-finished in natural materials — alabaster, marble, brass, and blown glass — so slight variation in veining, grain, or patina between pieces is normal and expected.

- Compatible with standard dimmer switches unless the listing notes otherwise.
- Bulb base type (e.g. E12, E26) is listed on each product page; bulbs are not included unless stated.
- Select pieces are made to order — see the product page for current lead time before ordering.
Materials and care
Materials and care
- Alabaster, marble & stone: dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and household cleaners — they can etch or stain natural stone.
- Brass & metal finishes: wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will strip the patina.
- Fabric shades: spot clean only with a dry cloth.
- Glass: apply a mild glass cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the fixture.
- Always turn off and let the fixture cool before cleaning.
- Keep fixtures away from direct moisture unless the listing specifies it's rated for outdoor or wet locations.
Styling tips
Styling tips
- Wall sconces: mount at 60–66″ from the floor to the center of the fixture; space paired sconces 24–30″ apart.
- Pendants: hang 30–36″ above a table or counter surface, adjusting for ceiling height.
- Chandeliers: as a general sizing guide, allow roughly 2.5–3″ of fixture width for every foot of room width.
- Warmer bulb temperatures (2700K–3000K) bring out the tone in natural materials like alabaster and brass.
- Pairing with a dimmer switch gives you more control over ambiance in living and dining spaces.
