Magnolia — handmade ceiling or wall light
A refined, sculptural light handcrafted from hand-carved wood and traditional gesso, finished with solid brass details. The Magnolia is designed to work as either a ceiling pendant or a wall-mounted feature, offering flexible placement while maintaining a cohesive, tactile presence.
Materials and craft
Hand-carved sustainably sourced hardwood, shaped to evoke the gentle form of magnolia petals
Multiple layers of gesso applied and burnished by hand to create a soft, matte surface that diffuses light subtly
Solid brass fittings and fastenings, polished for contrast and longevity
Hand-assembled in the UK using low-impact finishes and traditional techniques
Dimensions & specification (example)
Diameter: approx 30cm — bespoke sizing on request
Projection (wall): approx 20cm proportional to size, designed to create layered light and gentle shadow
Lamp type:SES, E14 Girard Sudron gold topped LED bulbs (recommend warm white, dimmable)
Voltage and mounting options suitable for UK wiring; international electrics available to order
Sustainability & longevity
Natural, repairable materials chosen for durability and end-of-life recyclability
Modular brass fittings allow components to be replaced rather than discarded
Handmade production reduces waste and supports local craft skills
Finish options
Classic white gesso (as shown) — soft, matte, luminous
Custom patinas or tinted gesso on request
Brass left bright, or can be patinated to near charcoal black
Creates a calm, sculptural focal point in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways or hospitality settings
The layered gesso surface softens glare and casts gentle, organic shadows for a warm, intimate atmosphere
Ordering & lead time
Each light is made to order. Typical lead time: 6–10 weeks depending on size and finish
Bespoke commissions welcome — contact for consult on scale, finish and wiring requirements
Care
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture to preserve the gesso surface and brass finish.
Made in the UK. Handmade, repairable, and designed with circular principles to last.
