Brass is the warmest metal you can hang in a room. It reads gold under warm bulbs and bronze in daylight, it sits comfortably with wood and stone, and unlike chrome it does not date the room it is in.
Finishes, shapes and hanging heights
Modern brass chandeliers
Clean stems, thin arms and exposed bulbs in brushed or satin brass - the version that suits a room with square edges and little ornament.
Aged and antique brass
Darker, softer finishes with candle-style arms and hand-worked detail, for rooms with older bones or for a new build that needs something with weight to it.
Brass and crystal
The combination that carries a formal dining room: a brass frame holding K9 crystal or natural rock crystal. See the full crystal chandelier range for crystal-led designs.
Linear brass chandeliers
Over a long table or a kitchen island, a linear brass chandelier spreads light down the surface instead of pooling it at the centre. Hang it 30 to 36 inches above the table.
