The piece
Antique Brass · White Glass Globe · Mid-Century Semi-Flush
A semi-flush mount ceiling light in the language of 1950s–60s American mid-century modern lighting — a stacked brass column rises from the canopy through a small sphere, a larger sphere, and a wide brass saucer disc, with a white opal-glass globe suspended just below. The composition is sculptural rather than architectural: each element a distinct geometric form, the whole reading as a small bronze totem hung tight to the ceiling.
The brass body is hand-finished in warm antique tone — bright on the polished surfaces, deeper at the recesses where light catches. The opal-glass globe diffuses light evenly without glare, casting a soft ambient pool downward. Suited to entry foyers, hallways, primary bedrooms, dressing rooms, and living rooms — particularly low-ceiling spaces (8 ft and under) where a hanging chandelier would feel intrusive.
Features
Stacked Brass Form
Sculptural column of stacked brass spheres and saucer disc — distinct mid-century geometry.
Opal Glass Globe
White opal glass diffuses light evenly without glare — soft ambient pool downward.
Semi-Flush Profile
Compact 26.5 cm (10.4″) total drop fits 8 ft+ ceilings comfortably — no chandelier-height issues.
Hand-finished antique brass. The brass body is hand-finished — subtle variation in tone, polish depth, and patina between pieces is part of the artisanal character, not a flaw. The opal-glass globe is hand-blown, so minor wall-thickness variation is expected and does not affect the diffused light quality.

FAQ
What size room does the Sasco suit? +
At ∅ 10″ × H 10.4″, it's well-scaled for hallways and corridors of 6–10 m², primary bedrooms and entry foyers of 10–18 m², and dressing rooms or smaller living areas. The compact diameter and semi-flush profile make it ideal for layered lighting schemes — pair with table lamps or wall sconces rather than relying on it as the sole ambient source for larger rooms.
Will it work in a low-ceiling room? +
Yes — the Lavinia is essentially a semi-flush mount. Total drop from ceiling to globe base is 26.5 cm (10.4″), shorter than a traditional pendant or chandelier. It works comfortably in 8 ft ceilings (240 cm) and is well-suited to hallways, smaller bedrooms, and rooms where a longer drop would feel intrusive.
Is the Sasco dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. The fixture takes a single G9 socket bulb. Install a dimmable G9 LED on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the light dims smoothly. Warm white 2700K–3000K is recommended to flatter both the antique brass and the opal-glass diffusion.
What kind of light does it cast? +
The opal-glass globe diffuses the bulb evenly, casting a soft ambient pool downward — gentle, residential, no harsh glare. The brass saucer above the globe also catches and reflects warm light, adding a subtle uplight halo on the ceiling. Good for mood and ambient illumination; pair with task lighting if you need direct workspace light.
What bulb does it take? +
One G9 socket bulb (small bi-pin base, common in modern fixtures). We recommend a warm-white 2700K–3000K LED at 40W incandescent equivalent. Avoid daylight (5000K+) — it cools the antique brass tone and clashes with the warm mid-century palette.
Is the brass real? +
Yes — the body is solid brass, hand-finished in antique tone. It's not plated steel or composite. Real brass develops subtle natural patina over years of use, which is part of its mid-century character. Clean only with a soft dry cloth; avoid commercial brass polish, which removes the antique finish.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
