Sizing — how to choose
Available in two diameters, allowing the pendant to be adapted to the scale of the interior:
45 cm diameter: works well above smaller dining tables, over a kitchen island, or as a singular point of light in a more intimate setting.
65 cm diameter: at home in larger rooms, above a generous dining table, or in spaces with high ceilings where the pendant is meant to hold its presence.
Can be styled as a singular statement, or in composition — for example, three 45 cm pendants in a row above a long dining table.
Total drop
The pendant is mounted on a rigid brass rod — our own construction that holds the pendant firmly in place, without swaying. This gives the pendant a confident, architectural presence and ensures precise alignment.
The total drop of each Veil Silk Pendant — measured from the ceiling to the bottom of the tassel after installation — is customised at order.
The pendant is composed of three visible parts: a brass suspension rod (adjustable from 20 to 90 cm), the silk shade and a decorative brass rosette finished with a bead and tassel (approximately 13 cm). Please specify the desired total drop in the order notes at checkout.

*Standard range based on the adjustable brass rod (20–90 cm). For longer drops, see “For higher ceilings” below. All measurements are from the ceiling to the bottom of the tassel after installation.
How to choose the right drop
As a general rule, the bottom of the pendant should hang approximately 75–90 cm above a dining table, or leave at least 210 cm of clearance above the floor in an open room. Our team is happy to advise on the ideal drop for your interior — write to us at contact@boldandpanache.com.
For higher ceilings
If a longer drop is required, we can extend the pendant on request — up to a total drop of 400 cm. The brass rod remains at its maximum length of 90 cm; any additional length is achieved with a suspension cable above the rod, softer in form than the rigid section below.
Light source & installation
Bulbs: 3 × E14 (not included). Compatible with standard LED bulbs. Recommended: LED at 2700 K (warm white) — for the warm, even glow the silk was designed to filter.
Control: operated via the wall switch in your interior (no integrated switch on the pendant).
Installation: to be carried out by a qualified electrician. All necessary fittings are included; ceiling junction and wiring are the responsibility of the buyer.
Care
Silk shade: dust gently with a soft brush. Do not use water, soap or chemical cleaners — they can permanently discolour or deform the silk. Silk shades are not suitable for washing or wet cleaning.
Lacquered Brass: dust with a soft cloth. The lacquer protects the surface from oxidation; no further care needed.
Unlacquered Brass: dust with a soft cloth. Patina will develop naturally. To restore the original golden tone, polish with a soft cloth and a brass cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges.
Antique Patina: dust with a soft cloth. Do not polish — polishing will remove the hand-applied patina. The surface will continue to develop over the years.
Avoid placing the pendant in direct contact with steam (above showers, kettles or stovetops) — moisture can damage both silk and unlacquered brass.
