Frequently Asked Questions
Where does it work best?
Over a dining table, in an entry hall, or hung in an open stairwell where it can be seen from two floors. Give it space and it repays you.
Why does the glow look uneven?
Because the stone is real. Thickness and veining vary naturally, so the light shifts across the form. A perfectly even glow is the signature of a manufactured shade, not a stone one.
How high should I hang it?
Thirty to thirty four inches above a dining table. In a stairwell, hang it so the widest part sits level with the upper landing and it reads well from both floors.
Is it bright enough for a dining room?
Yes, with the warmth stone gives rather than the hardness of glass. Put it on a dimmer and it carries a room from dinner right through the evening.
What does it need to stay looking new?
A dry soft cloth once a year, nothing more. Alabaster does not tarnish or yellow, so keeping dust off is the entire job.
