Know before you buy
The shades are crafted from thick, genuine alabaster discs. This natural stone material is chosen specifically for its ability to diffuse light, creating a soft and warm glow.
Yes, the seesaw-inspired linear design is specifically scaled for long dining tables or kitchen islands. Its 59.5-inch length provides balanced, even illumination across the entire surface.
With 20 individual light sources, this fixture provides substantial, ambient illumination. Because the alabaster shades soften the light, it is bright enough to function as a primary light source without being harsh or glaring.
The fixture has a low profile with a height of only 5.75 inches, making it an excellent choice for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights. It provides a dramatic visual impact without consuming too much vertical space.
The finish significantly changes the mood of the piece: Aged Brass offers a warm, vintage-inspired aesthetic, Aged Old Bronze provides a grounded, traditional feel, and Polished Nickel delivers a crisp, modern, and reflective look.
