The Perrin Brass-Capped Alabaster Mini Pendant brings together a brushed brass disc and a block of quarried stone, designed so the metal rests over the material rather than holding it securely. Because every shade originates from the same solid rock, the veining patterns are exclusive to each unit, revealing themselves fully only when the light is activated.
This fixture is intentionally compact at 4.7 inches wide. While a single unit works well above a nightstand or console, arranging three creates a balanced line over a kitchen island without blocking sightlines. The fixture suspends from a braided cord secured within a knurled brass collar at the canopy, leaving hardware exposed intentionally. During installation, the cord measures 59 inches but is shortened to suit environments ranging from low bedroom ceilings to tall stairwells.
Shape Options
- Cube Shape: Measures 4.7″ in diameter by 9.1″ in height (12 x 23 cm excluding cord). Best suited for bedside tables, powder rooms, or areas with lower clearance.
- Cylinder Shape: Matches the cube in width at 4.7″ but extends to 12.2″ in height (12 x 31 cm excluding cord). Ideal for dining corners, kitchen islands, or spaces with higher ceiling volume.
Materia and Finish Details
- Primary Materials: Constructed from solid brass and natural alabaster stone.
- Finish: Brushed brass components combined with natural white stone featuring unique veining.
- Design Language: Fits styles described as modern organic, transitional American, mid-century modern, minimalist, and contemporary luxe.
When unlit, the alabaster presents as a quiet white that blends softly against the ceiling background. Once illuminated, the stone glows with a warm honey-gold tone, projecting light downward with a gentle falloff from the open base. While both shapes share identical widths, allowing them to be mixed in a single row without visual disruption, the cube offers crisper architectural lines while the cylinder provides a softer, lantern-like appearance.
Bulb Requirements And Power
The pendant utilizes a standard hardwired connection to a junction box compatible with voltage ranges of 110V to 240V. It accepts either a G9 or E14 base socket. The maximum wattage per bulb is capped at 40W. bulbs are sold separately. For the intended golden warmth effect, a 2700K soft-white bulb is recommended; cooler temperatures may cause the stone to appear grey. Dimming capabilities depend entirely on the selected bulb installed.
For optimal placement over an island, space fixtures twenty-four to thirty inches apart at their centers. Maintain at least twelve inches of clearance from the outer edges of the counter. When positioned over a countertop, ensure the base sits thirty to thirty-six inches above the surface. Over walkways, maintain a seven-foot vertical clearance. Each unit is a separate fixture requiring its own canopy and junction point.
Distribution And Maintenance
Sale of multiple units results in individual shades shipped as complete fixtures. Since alabaster is a porous stone, every piece possesses unique translucency and texture variations intended to mimic a collected, artisanal look rather than a manufactured uniformity. To care for the fixture, dust gently using a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using water, glass cleaners, vinegar, or abrasive scrubbers as these will permanently stain or damage the stone. Allow the light to cool completely before cleaning.
