The Art of Hand Hammering
Each Brass Gold Chandelier is
individually shaped by hand hammering on a thin sheet of solid brass. The artisan strikes the flat surface with a specific hammer to create this
vibrant texture of small indentations that defines the luminaire's visual character. Then, the sheet is
bent and folded into a shape evoking a folded lotus leaf — ancestral gestures of coppersmithing. No two pieces are strictly identical: variations in thickness, hammering intensity, and the final curve of the fold bear the signature of the hand that shaped them. It is this
assumed imperfection of handmade work that distinguishes the Brass Gold from uniform industrial production — light lives, vibrates, and pulsates through the reliefs of the material.
Why Hammered Brass is Unique
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy used in coppersmithing since antiquity — it combines the golden warmth of copper and the strength of zinc, with a unique ability to be cold-worked by hammering. The result is a surface with thousands of small facets that reflect light unevenly: where a smooth surface mirrors light, hammered brass diffuses it in vibrant golden reflections. Over time, brass develops a natural patina that enriches its color — it ages beautifully, unlike industrial plated finishes that tarnish.

Bulb recommendation. Opt for an E27 warm white (2700K) LED bulb, 600-800 lumens, globe or Edison shape. Since the hammered brass is the visual centerpiece, choose a discreet or decorative bulb according to your taste: an Edison with a visible filament will be multiplied by the golden reflections of the hammered cup for a fascinating kaleidoscopic effect; a frosted globe ensures a softer, more even diffusion. Avoid bulbs of 5000K or more, which make the light cold and alter the natural luster of the brass.
Brass Gold or another pendant from the range? The Brass Gold is our only hand-hammered solid brass luminaire in the shape of a lotus leaf. Its natural competitors in the range are the Arborescent Chandelier (blown glass on a branched structure), the Luminous Saturn (flattened woven rattan disc), and the Rattan SCREEN (Asian caning mobile). Choose Brass Gold for the intense golden warmth and artisanal authenticity of hammered brass — a warmer and more vibrant aesthetic than other sculptural luminaires that play with other materials.

Hammered brass precautions. Brass is a noble material that naturally develops a patina over the years — this is an aesthetic asset that enriches the original golden color towards warmer and deeper shades. This evolution is normal and does not constitute a defect. To preserve the original golden luster for as long as possible, avoid excessive humidity, aggressive chemical products (ammonia, bleach), abrasive cloths, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. For occasional deeper cleaning, specific brass products are available in specialized stores.
Timeless Decorative Art Gift. The Brass Gold Chandelier is a striking gift for lovers of Italian design and noble artisanal objects. Its compact size (45.5 cm) makes it a piece that transforms a space without overwhelming it — ideal above a dining table or console. The hand-hammered texture and the natural patina that will develop over the years make this piece an object of patrimonial value. Ideal for a housewarming, wedding, major birthday, or for oneself as a lasting decorative investment.
Frequently asked questions
Why is each piece unique?
Because the Brass Gold is hand-hammered by a coppersmith artisan, not industrially pressed. The manual process naturally generates subtle variations: density and depth of hammering, slight differences in brass thickness, and the final curve of the lotus leaf fold. These nuances are not defects but the very signature of artisanal production. This is what distinguishes Brass Gold from a uniform industrial copy — each piece bears the imprint of the hand that shaped it.
Will the brass tarnish over time?
Brass naturally develops a patina over the years — this is not a defective tarnish but an aesthetic evolution sought after by lovers of noble materials. The original golden color enriches towards warmer and deeper shades, which add visual depth. To preserve the original golden luster for as long as possible, avoid excessive humidity and chemical products. For those who prefer to maintain the new look, specific brass products are available in specialized stores.
Which bulb should I choose to reveal the hammering?
An E27 Edison LED bulb with a visible filament, in warm white (2700 Kelvin), 600 to 800 lumens. The Edison shape is particularly suitable: its centered light point and decorative filament are multiplied by the thousands of small facets of the hammered brass, creating a fascinating kaleidoscopic effect. A frosted globe LED also works well for softer, more even diffusion. Absolutely avoid bulbs of 5000K or more, which make the light cold and alter the natural luster of the golden brass.
What type of interior is Brass Gold suitable for?
Its intense golden warmth and Italian craftsmanship make it a luminaire that particularly harmonizes with warm contemporary interiors, mid-century modern, Art Deco, Mediterranean, or minimalist seeking a strong golden accent. It works equally well on light backgrounds (white, beige, light grey walls) where its golden warmth shines, as on dark backgrounds (navy blue, deep green, anthracite) where it becomes a striking luminous focal point. Avoid ultra-cold or ultra-industrial interiors that might diminish its warmth.
What size space is suitable for the Brass Gold?
With its 45.5 cm length, the Brass Gold is suitable for medium to large spaces: dining tables of 100-160 cm, residential living rooms, entry halls, consoles. Allow for a minimum ceiling height of 2.40 m and a clearance of 70-85 cm above the tabletop. For very large spaces (lofts, XXL halls), consider our Rhythm Nordic or Wooden Rope linear pendants. For compact spaces (bedroom, small office), our Mini Branching Bubble Pendants in Solo format will be more suitable.
How do I install the Brass Gold Chandelier?
Installation is standard: the ceiling rose attaches to a standard ceiling junction box. The grey cable is adjustable to the desired length. Handle the luminaire carefully during installation: hammered brass is more fragile than a standard metal cup and can deform if pressed too hard. If your electrical installation does not meet standards, call a qualified electrician. The mounting kit and detailed instructions are provided.
How do I care for hammered brass?
Regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is sufficient for daily maintenance. It is imperative to avoid abrasive products, ammonia, bleach, and solvents that could alter the golden finish of the brass. For stubborn marks, a cloth very lightly dampened with clear water (wrung out) is sufficient, dried immediately. For occasional deep cleaning, specific brass products are available in hardware stores or specialized household product stores.
