Hand-Aged Brass · Balanced Twin Arms · Mid-Century Sculpture
A two-head ceiling chandelier composed as a balanced sculpture — twin upturned brass bowls extend on slim arms from a central column, each counter-weighted by a polished brass sphere on the opposite side. The geometry feels deliberate and architectural: every line stops where it needs to stop, every curve answers another curve.
The bowls open upward to bounce light off the ceiling, producing a soft, glare-free indirect glow. The brass is hand-aged with subtle tonal variation between the bowls, arms, and spheres — a quiet patina that catches light from every direction. Available in three finish combinations.
Features
Balanced Twin-Arm Composition
Each bowl is counter-weighted by a polished sphere — sculptural balance across the wingspan.
Indirect Uplight Bowls
Upturned bowls bounce light off the ceiling — soft, indirect, glare-free.
Three Finish Combinations
All-brass, black with white bowls, or nickel with white bowls.
Finish Options — Choose at Checkout
All Brass
Hand-aged warm brass throughout — bowls, arms, spheres, column. Pairs with cream walls, oak, traditional or transitional interiors.
Black & White
Matte black frame with white-finished bowls — graphic and contemporary, pairs with white walls and modern interiors.
Nickel & White
Brushed nickel frame with white-finished bowls — quieter and more residential, pairs with cool palettes.
Hand-aged brass varies between pieces. The brass finish is hand-applied with subtle tonal variation between each bowl, arm, and sphere. This is part of the artisanal character — every chandelier carries its own slight character of patina, not a defect.
Dimensions
Adjustable suspension rods. Three rod sections ship with the fixture (7.9" + 11.8" + 19.7"), combining to a maximum 39.4" rod length — usable in full or partial combination to match your ceiling height. The 122 cm (48") wingspan needs enough lateral clearance from walls and adjacent fixtures.

FAQ
Will it fit my ceiling height? +
The total drop is 63.5 cm (25") at maximum rod extension. The three rod sections (7.9" + 11.8" + 19.7") can be combined or shortened to suit your ceiling — best for rooms with 9 ft+ ceilings. For vaulted or double-height ceilings, contact us before ordering for a custom rod length.
How wide is it? +
The wingspan is 122 cm (48") between the tips of the two arms. Make sure your dining table or installation area has at least 60 cm (24") of clearance on each side from walls or adjacent fixtures so the chandelier doesn't visually crowd the space.
What bulb does it take? +
Each of the two bowls takes one E12 candelabra base bulb (the smaller socket size used in chandeliers and candle-style fixtures, not standard E26). Up to 25W per socket. We recommend warm white (3000K) LED candelabra bulbs. Bulbs not included.
Is the light bright enough? +
Because the bowls open upward, the light is indirect — bounced off the ceiling rather than cast directly downward. This produces a soft, ambient glow that's flattering and glare-free, but not as bright as a typical downward-facing chandelier. For dining-table task lighting, pair this with table lamps or under-cabinet lighting to layer your sources.
Is it dimmable? +
The fixture itself doesn't dim, but it becomes fully dimmable when paired with dimmable LED candelabra bulbs and a standard TRIAC wall dimmer (both sold separately).
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.
- Hardwired or plug-in per listing; check the individual product page for the exact wiring type and included cord length.
- 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.
