Brass Chandelier

Count on a brass ceiling light whose light points cover the room to be lit, not just its centre: golden brass, sometimes silvered, E14 or GU10 socket, IP20 protection for dry interiors. The whole selection shares the same brass mount and plays on shape, style and number of light sources.

What defines a brass ceiling light?

A brass ceiling light is recognised by its golden metal structure: all the pieces in this collection are in brass, most golden, some silvered. There are ball, round, tube or oval shapes, IP20 protection for dry interiors and an E14 or GU10 socket depending on the model.

Shapes and finishes: ball, tube, golden or silvered

The shape decides the lighting effect. A ball mount concentrates light into sharp points, the round version opens it into a circle, the tube stretches the silhouette towards the ceiling and the oval extends the whole above a table. Golden remains the majority finish, to compare in the golden finishes. The silvered version, present on some models, cools the mount and suits light interiors. For a warmer result, look at brass with a golden glow.

What a brass ceiling light changes in a room

Brass reflects light instead of absorbing it: the ceiling light illuminates the room and highlights its own outline. Under a high ceiling, it fills the void above the furniture. In a small living room, its fine mount takes up visual space without saturating it. To compare formats from one model to another, browse all our pendants and ceiling lights.

How to recognise a bronze or brass ceiling light?

Brass is a golden yellow alloy, bronze a darker, redder alloy. On these models, the stated colour is golden, sometimes combined with silvered. It is the finish and the patina, more or less pronounced, that distinguish an old ceiling light from a recent piece.

Antique or golden brass ceiling light: reading the finish

An antique brass ceiling light carries an irregular patina, darker in the hollows of the arms. A new piece, on the other hand, shows a regular golden tone, often varnished to limit tarnishing. To date a mount, look at the regularity of the shade and the wear at the fixing points, not just the overall colour.

Patina, drops and mount: the details that change everything

A ceiling light with drops adds crystal pendants that diffract light and lengthen the silhouette. These ornaments are found on crystal ornaments. Mounts trimmed with glass pieces make up glass ceiling lights with softer reflections. The structure itself remains brass across the whole selection.

Which brass ceiling light for the living room: 3, 5 or 8 arms?

The number of light sources follows the living room surface and the ceiling height. All the models in the collection are in brass, IP20 protected and fitted with an E14 or GU10 socket: these light points, more than the span alone, determine the light actually available in the room.

5-arm or 8-arm brass ceiling light: what size for a living room?

In general, three to five light sources are enough in a living room of 15 to 25 m², and eight sources beyond 30 m² under a good height. The span also counts: allow around 60 cm in diameter for 20 m², more in a large volume. Better a slightly generous piece than a ceiling light lost in the middle of the ceiling. The selection of ceiling lights for the living room lets you compare sizes.

Modern living room ceiling light or large classic ceiling light: which to choose?

A living room with clean lines goes better with a sober mount, ball, round or tube, visible in the models for a contemporary living room. A large classic ceiling light, with curved arms and drops, takes its place under a ceiling of 2.70 m and above. A bohemian brass ceiling light suits a light, uncluttered living room. For a bold statement, this golden baroque model plays the ornate card.

How to choose a brass ceiling light for the dining room?

Above a table, choose a ceiling light whose light points cover the whole length of the table, with an E14 socket for diffuse light. The collection offers ball, round, tube and oval shapes, all in brass and IP20, to hang high enough to keep the view clear.

At what height should the ceiling light be hung above the table?

The usual guide is between 75 and 85 cm above the table, from the bottom of the fixture to the wood. A person sitting opposite should not meet the arms of the ceiling light with their gaze, and the light should fall on the plates without dazzling. The final height is set on site, once the guests are seated, on the models in the collection above the table.

Brass ceiling light for a large table: which format to favour?

Over a large table, an oval model or a round ceiling light with several light sources distributes light better than a compact piece. A mount combining brass and metal such as this brass and metal mount keeps a fine silhouette despite its length. The two-tone rustic version suits solid wood tables. For an open living space, the same logic applies in the living area.

Modern, baroque or bohemian brass ceiling light: which style for which room?

In this collection, the baroque style dominates, followed by bohemian and modern, then contemporary and industrial. Baroque dresses a studio or a living room with a high ceiling, bohemian a living area, modern a dining room or a kitchen, rustic an entrance or a room with character.
