A fixture of immense scale and industrial elegance, manufactured by the renowned British lighting firm Faraday & Son. The piece is centered around a monumental 20-inch (503mm) glass bowl that exemplifies the maker's attention to engineering: it features a "dual-finish" technique with a smooth, high-gloss surface on the outer face for reflection, paired with a satin-frosted interior to diffuse light without glare.
The bowl is cradled by a heavy original cast bronze ring, defined by substantial architectural "column" fittings that serve as the suspension points. The metalwork is punctuated by raised roundel motifs along the band and retains a deep, natural patina that highlights the quality of the casting. The fixture hangs from a heavy chain suspension system anchored to the three structural columns.
Fully restored, rewired, tested, and ready for installation. Wiring: We can wire this fixture to suit your location (US/UK/EU) standards.
