Quintiesse Barletta 1 Light Pendant - Gold

There's a quiet contrast at the heart of the Barletta pendant: a warm metallic ring set against a cool, textured glass orb. The seeded glass catches and scatters light in a way that a plain shade never quite manages, while the brushed gold detailing gives the fitting a soft glow of its own even before it's switched on. Hung singly or in a group, it brings a touch of understated glamour to whatever room it's in.

The brushed gold finish

The rod, ceiling mount and ring detail here are finished in brushed gold, built on the same anodised aluminium and steel frame as the rest of the range, with a clear seeded glass shade doing the visual work. The brushed texture softens the shine of the metal, so it reads as warm rather than flashy, and pairs comfortably with brass hardware, warm wood tones, or other soft metallics already in the room.

How it works

Light comes from a 6W LED built into the fitting, delivering 340 lumens at a warm white 3000K, so there's nothing to buy separately when it comes to bulbs. It's dimmable, as long as it's connected through a compatible dimmer switch. The drop is adjustable between 67.5cm and 264.5cm, so the hanging height can be tailored to the room rather than fixed at install. It's a Class II fitting, meaning it's built without the need for a separate earth connection, though it should still be installed by someone competent to do so.

Where it works best

The Barletta's compact 12.2cm depth and 4.5kg weight make it easy to hang in multiples, which is where it tends to shine most, grouped above a kitchen island, a breakfast bar, or a run of dining table. Its warmth also lends itself to bedrooms and living rooms, where a single pendant over a nightstand or reading chair adds a soft pool of light rather than a flood. Because the drop is so adjustable, it's also a sensible choice for dining rooms with higher ceilings or stairwells, where the suspension can be set well below the standard range.

Quintiesse craftsmanship

Quintiesse describes many of its finishes and materials as drawing on artisan techniques, and its glass elements, including seeded glass shades like the one used here, are among the finishes it points to as showing that hand finished character. As a premium brand within the Elstead Lighting Group, aimed at the design, hospitality and premium retail markets, Quintiesse also describes an ongoing effort to reduce waste and increase its use of recycled and recyclable materials across its collections.
