Antique Brass Pendant Light – Turned Spindle, 16″ Alabaster Dome

Hang it over your kitchen island and the counter turns warm and calm. This antique brass pendant light is a turned spindle with a small dome of real alabaster at its foot. Switch it on and the stone glows from inside.

Four lathe-turned sections stack into one spindle. An ovoid sits at the top. Three flattened discs follow, each narrower than the one above, so the stem tapers into the 15.2 cm shade. Every join is a crisp turned shoulder, not a moulded seam. It stands 40.6 cm (16 inches) tall on a rigid rod.

Real alabaster, turned steel, warm light

Alabaster is stone formed beneath the earth. It belongs to our Stone family, and no two blocks are alike.

Our craftsman reads each block before he cuts. He decides where the veins should fall, then cuts and shapes the dome by hand. The veins run differently on every piece. The colour shifts. The edges darken where the stone is denser. One block of stone. One light. Never repeated.

The spindle is turned on a lathe, one section at a time, each with its own profile. It is 304-grade stainless steel in a soft antique brass finish, aged rather than lacquered bright. That gives the light its candlestick silhouette. It reads like a balustrade, not a lamp, and it holds up close because every edge was turned.

Switch it on and the light does two things. The dome is a shallow half sphere, open at the bottom, so light falls down and spreads sideways in a wide, soft pool. At the same time the stone glows through its walls, and the veins show as faint darker lines. The shade reads as a warm object, not a dark shape with light under it.

Where an antique brass pendant light works best

At 15.2 cm across, this is a small pendant. It works in numbers, or alone where a large fixture would be wrong.

• In a row over a kitchen island: three pendants, 70 to 80 cm apart, hung about 75 cm above the worktop. The narrow shade keeps sightlines across the counter open. Each one gives roughly a metre of usable light, so the row leaves no dark gaps.
• Beside a bed: one on each side, 75 to 90 cm above the mattress. Both bedside tables are free again.
• Over a console or in an entry: a single pendant against a plain wall, dropped to eye level.
• Above a small dining table: two, centred over a table for four, instead of one wide fixture.

Unlit, it is a brass-finished spindle with a pale stone cap. It suits plaster, lime wash, timber and stone, in a traditional kitchen or a plain modern one.

Light, fitting and finish

It takes one standard E27 bulb, up to 9 W. The bulb is not included. Fit a 6 to 9 W E27 LED in 3000K warm white. The cream stone and the brass finish both carry yellow. A cool bulb fights them and makes alabaster look grey.

This light is not dimmable. It runs on 220–240V and is rated IP20, for indoor, dry rooms.

It hangs on a rigid rod of 304-grade stainless steel in the same antique brass finish, so it holds its place and does not swing. The rod is 1.5 m as standard. Send us your ceiling height and we cut it before dispatch, or your electrician shortens it at installation. Any licensed electrician fits it in 20–30 minutes, and we help free on a video call.

Every metal part is 304-grade stainless steel, so it will not rust. You get a lifetime warranty against rusting on orders from 4 October 2026.

We make it in our own factory and keep spare parts any time. The alabaster dome can be reordered on its own. That matters, because it is the part most likely to get knocked.
