The shades of the Alsop 3-Light Multi-Drop Pendant were inspired by tortoise shell bracelets that were popular during the era when Hollywood glamour was at its height. Made of composite with faux-horn surfaces, the shades on the brown pendant will be warm elements in a space. A refined aspect of the design is how the ribs arc outward and how they are staggered for greater texture than their surfaces bring. The canopy of this piece is luminous in a painted Contemporary Silver finish that includes some subtle gold undertones. This fixture is among Currey & Company's introduction of cluster lights, which includes multiple configurations. All multi-drop fixtures arrive unassembled. A licensed electrician skilled with hanging fixture assembly and installation should be consulted to plan and perform installation. The thin aircraft cable used for suspending shades arrives in a 10' coil. Cable variances are determined by you and the installer. Installer will cut cable lengths, link shades to cables, and install fixture.
