Drawn from the silhouettes of English scullery lamps — once utilitarian, now reimagined for the heart of the modern home. The Thetford brings light down to human scale above the island or dining table, pairing a solid brass body with translucent ceramic or spun-aluminum shades. A fixture that feels collected over a lifetime, not purchased in an afternoon.

FAQ
Which shade should I choose? +
Ceramic gives a warm, diffused glow that softens the room — ideal over dining tables or islands where you want ambience. Aluminum is lighter and more directional, making it a better choice for task-focused areas like pantries or prep counters.
How many pendants do I need for my island? +
For islands under 6 ft, a single 2-head pendant works well. For 6–8 ft islands, three single pendants deliver the most balanced visual rhythm and shadow-free task lighting. For islands over 8 ft, consider the longest 2-head version or multiple fixtures in a row.
What's the ideal mounting height? +
Mount the bottom of the shade 30–36" above the island countertop for optimal task lighting without blocking sightlines. The suspension rod is adjustable — three segments (29.5" + 11.8" + 7.9") can be combined or shortened to fine-tune the drop.
What cabinetry hardware pairs best with Brass? +
Don't be afraid to pair Brass fixtures with Black or Nickel cabinetry hardware — this "collected" mix is a hallmark of premium English kitchen design and keeps the space from feeling overly matched.
Can it be installed on a sloped ceiling? +
Yes — the canopy accommodates standard sloped-ceiling installations. Please consult your installer for the correct mounting hardware for steeper angles.
Is it dimmable? +
Yes — dimmability depends on the bulb you choose. Pair dimmable LED bulbs with a compatible TRIAC dimmer switch for smooth, flicker-free control.
Will the brass finish vary between units? +
Yes, slightly. Each brass body is hand-finished, so minor tonal variation is expected — and is part of the material's natural character. The finish will also patina gently over time.
