Amber Stained Glass & Brass · Hand-Soldered · Hardwired Pendant
Conical Stained Glass Pendant
The Conical Stained Glass Pendant is built the traditional way, with individual panels of amber-toned glass set into a hand-soldered brass channel and bent outward at the lower edge to create its flared rim. At 50 cm across and 40 cm tall, it is large enough to anchor a dining table or reading nook on its own. The brass framework forms a series of radiating lines from the center cap to the flared rim, while the warm amber glass softens the bulb light into a honey-colored glow on the surface below. It hangs from a single black cord with a brass canopy and takes a standard E26 bulb.

Size & Dimensions
Where It Works
Sized as a statement pendant meant to hang alone — over a dining table, a reading nook, or a writing desk — as the main visual anchor of the room. It works best over tables 120 cm long or wider, hung roughly 75–80 cm above the table surface. In a room under 10 m² it can feel oversized. Unlike the smaller pieces in this series, the Conical is not meant to be clustered; a single fixture anchors the space.
Installation & Care
- Hardwired ceiling installation – a licensed electrician is recommended.
- Compatible with a standard wall switch (not included); for dimming, use a Triac dimmer paired with a dimmable LED bulb – non-dimmable bulbs will not dim.
- The E26 socket is standard North American medium-base size and accepts most household LED bulbs. E27 (European) bulbs are interchangeable – either thread fits the socket.
- Twist the bulb gently into the socket inside the cone. Do not exceed 60W – higher-wattage bulbs run hot and can stress the soldered joints over time.
- The pendant is moderately heavy due to its size and glass-panel construction. Confirm the ceiling junction box is secured to a joist or fan-rated brace before mounting.
- Cord ships at a standard drop length. Request a longer cord for high ceilings, or a shorter one for low ceilings, before the order ships.
- Indoor use only. Not suitable for bathrooms, showers, or other damp locations – extended humidity can degrade the solder joints over time.
- Wipe the glass panels with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For fingerprints on the brass channel, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately – avoid abrasives or metal polish, as the channel finish is a thin coating.

FAQ
Is this a hand-made stained glass pendant, or factory-pressed glass?
It uses the traditional leaded-glass method: each glass panel is cut to shape, fitted into a brass channel, and soldered together panel by panel – the same approach used in stained glass windows, scaled to a modern fixture. It is not a single piece of pressed glass with a brass overlay; the brass channel is structural. Because the work is done by hand, no two pieces are identical – solder bead width, channel alignment, and glass tone vary slightly from one fixture to the next.
What kind of light does the amber glass produce?
Warm and golden, on the honey-amber side rather than bright white. The glass panels are translucent, not transparent, so they diffuse the bulb rather than letting the filament show through, and they shift the light toward warmer tones even with a neutral-white bulb. If you want a brighter, whiter light, this isn't the right fixture – pair it with a cooler-toned task light elsewhere in the room.
How big is it really? Is 50 cm too large for my room?
At 50 cm across, this is a statement scale – large over a dining table, best suited to a 10–15 m² room. It works best over tables 120 cm long or wider, hung about 75–80 cm above the table surface. In a smaller room (under 10 m²) it can feel oversized for the space.
What bulb does it take – E26 or E27?
Both work. E26 (North American medium-base) and E27 (European medium-base) share the same thread diameter and are interchangeable – an E26 bulb from a US retailer will screw straight into the socket without an adaptor. Recommended: a warm-white LED at 2700–3000K, maximum 60W. A clear filament-style LED shows best behind the amber glass; an opal-bulb LED gives a slightly softer wash.
Can I use a dimmer with this light?
Yes, with the right combination. It dims when paired with a dimmable E26 LED bulb and a Triac dimmer switch. Non-dimmable LEDs will flicker or stay at full brightness on a dimmer, regardless of the fixture. A dimmed amber-glass pendant reads especially warm – useful for evening dining ambiance.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not identical. Hand-soldered glass construction produces small variations from piece to piece – solder bead width, channel alignment, and individual panel tone. These aren't defects; they're the consequence of building the piece by hand rather than pressing it from a mold, and the brass channel develops a warmer patina over time.
Is it certified for North America and Europe?
Yes. It operates on AC 110–240V worldwide, with compliance suitable for North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia.
As a hand-soldered stained glass piece, slight variations in solder bead width, channel alignment, and glass tone are normal from fixture to fixture.
