Travello Industrial Flat Pendant Light

The piece

Hand-Aged Iron · Brass Collar · Industrial Farmhouse

A pendant that wears its history — the flat iron shade is hand-aged, not factory-coated, with a deep charcoal-black surface that's deliberately worn back at the rim and high points to reveal warm bronze-tone undercoat. The result reads like a genuine vintage barn or factory pendant, not a modern reproduction. A polished brass collar and twisted-cloth cord finish the look. Best in groups of three or five along a kitchen island, breakfast bar, or workshop ceiling — the staggered, slightly varying finishes turn into a quiet rhythm of light.

About the Finish — Please Read

This is a hand-aged finish, not a uniform paint coat. The shade starts as iron, is finished in deep charcoal, then deliberately worn back at the rim and high points to expose warm bronze and rust tones underneath. The result is intentionally uneven — every piece is slightly different, with visible brushwork, tonal gradient, and edge wear. If you are looking for a flat, machine-uniform metallic gray, this product is not for you. If you love the honest character of a real vintage pendant — the kind salvaged from an old factory or barn — this finish is precisely what you want.

FAQ

What does "hand-aged" mean — is it really aged or just painted to look that way? +

It's a deliberate finishing technique applied by hand, not a printed pattern or sponge effect. The iron shade is base-coated, then physically worn back at the edges and high points to expose the warmer undercoat — the same way a genuinely old pendant would weather over decades of use. Because it's done by hand, every piece has slightly different brushwork and edge wear. It's a finishing technique, not an aging process — but the result is honest and dimensional, not flat or printed.

Will my piece look exactly like the photos? +

The shape, dimensions, and overall character will match — but the exact pattern of edge wear and tonal gradient will be unique to your piece. This is intentional. If three pendants from this listing were placed side by side, no two would be identical. If you order multiple, that variation actually enhances the grouped effect — they look like a found set, not a manufactured set.

Is this finish durable? Will the worn areas keep wearing? +

The finish is sealed after the hand-aging process, so it is stable under normal indoor conditions — the worn-look areas will not continue to wear or flake. Avoid abrasive cleaners and rough handling, which could mark the surface. Standard dusting with a soft dry cloth is all it needs.

Which bulb do you recommend? +

A warm white (2700K) Edison-style filament LED bulb in E26 or E27 base, at 4–6W. A clear globe or vintage filament bulb works beautifully — the visible filament is part of the period-correct look. Avoid frosted bulbs, which dampen the vintage character. Cool-white or daylight bulbs fight the warm aged-iron tone — stick to warm white.

Why does it look better in groups? +

Because each piece has slightly different edge wear, hanging 3 or 5 together creates an organic, lived-in rhythm — like a row of barn lights collected over time. A single unit reads more "industrial accent"; a group of 3–5 reads "intentional design statement". It's the most flattering way to show this product.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes — paired with a dimmable LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the pendant dims smoothly. The fixture itself has no built-in dimmer.

How do I clean it? +

Switch off the wall power and let the bulb cool. Dust with a soft dry cloth or feather duster. Do not use polish, abrasive cleaners, or wet wipes — these may flatten the brushwork or strip the worn-back tone gradient. The finish is sealed, so dust is the only normal cleaning concern.

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.
