Fabula Farnley 3 Tier 80cm Pendant 24 Light - Brass & Smoke

Brass Warmth Softened by Smoke Glass

This pendant pairs the brass Farnley frame with smoke tinted glass shades, combining two warm traditional materials into a cohesive whole. The brass develops a natural patina over time, enriching in colour as the years pass, while the smoke glass diffuses the light in a neutral, gentle way. The 24 G9 lamp holders across the three graduated tiers deliver soft, even light into the space beneath, with the bulbs visible but softened by the smoke glass layer, creating an inviting rather than sharp atmosphere.

Choosing Your Finish

Brass and smoke glass is a pairing that whispers rather than shouts. The brass is warm and traditional, but not as shiny or reflective as polished nickel, giving the pendant a more settled, established feel. The smoke glass mutes the light without adding strong colour the way amber does, making this a good choice if you want warmth and softness without the explicit golden tones. This combination suits traditional, eclectic, or transitional interiors, and homes where materials matter as much as function.

How It Works

The pendant is wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection for safe installation. The 24 G9 bulbs (not included) sit across the three tiers, their light diffused by the smoke glass to create a soft, even glow rather than sharp brightness. The combination of brass and smoke glass means the overall light reads as warm and approachable, even with cool temperature bulbs. If you add dimmable G9 bulbs and wire it to a compatible dimmer, you gain full brightness control. The IP20 rating keeps it indoors and away from moisture, unsuitable for bathrooms or heavily humid kitchens.

Where It Works Best

This pendant suits traditional or eclectic spaces where warmth and character matter more than contemporary minimalism. Above a dining table in a period property, in a generous living room where the brass frame and soft light work together to create atmosphere, or in a hallway where the warmth draws people in. The brass and smoke combination is forgiving of different interior styles, working equally well alongside antiques or contemporary furniture as long as the overall scheme values richness over simplicity.

Design Details

The Farnley collection's strength lies in the way proportional spacing creates visual rhythm without ornamentation. With brass and smoke glass, the materials themselves carry the design language. The brass is unadorned and develops character naturally through aging, while the smoke glass is equally understated, doing its job of softening light without calling attention to itself. The result is a pendant that improves with age, both visually through patina development and in how it becomes a comfortable, familiar part of the room.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between this and the brass with amber glass?
Smoke glass is greyer and more neutral, while amber is warmer and more golden. Both are soft and diffused, but smoke is less colour intensive, letting the brass warmth be the main character element.

Is this good for reading?
The 24 bulbs provide good light output, and the smoke glass diffuses it evenly rather than creating harsh shadows. If this is your primary light at a dining table, it's adequate. For dedicated task lighting or reading, you might prefer an additional lamp.

Will the brass need polishing?
Brass naturally develops patina as it ages, which most people find adds character rather than detracts from it. You can polish it if you prefer the bright look, but it's not necessary for the pendant to look good. The patina is part of the design.
