Travera Pendant Light | Travertine, Wood And Glass Hanging Lamp In Natural Wood or Walnut Timber

Three materials in one pendant is usually one too many, but travertine, wood and glass work because each does a different job. The stone gives the fitting weight and natural pattern, the timber warms it, and the glass lets the light out. This Marlow Vane pendant keeps the proportions restrained so none of the three overwhelms the other two.

Travertine is the material worth paying attention to. It is naturally pitted and banded, so no two fittings carry the same figure, and light striking the surface picks out the texture instead of sliding across it. Two timber finishes are offered. Natural wood keeps the piece pale and Scandinavian, while walnut is deeper and reads more considered against dark paint.

Buy it now if your dining room has good furniture and a bad light above it. Because travertine is a genuine natural stone, the colour, the veining and the pitting will all differ a little from the photograph shown. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, on a ceiling fixing rated for the weight of a solid stone shade, and with the circuit isolated at the breaker before any of that work begins.
