Product Description
Those pyramidal punched tin shades with diamond window blend sculptural form with luminous pattern. A four-sided frustum concentrates light downward and vents heat upward. The wide, square base spreads illumination broadly over tables or islands. Diamond-quilt punchwork and repoussé rosettes add texture and depth. A bezel-framed diamond window becomes a glowing focal point when lit. The smoke-washed pewter/bronze patina shows hand-rubbed grain for artisanal character. Rolled hems and framed borders keep the silhouette crisp and durable.
Material and Craftsmanship
Hand-worked tin sheet is cut, formed, and soldered from the inside. Repeating punches are laid out with guides, then struck by hand. Rosettes and cartouches are formed in low relief and refined from the front. Bezel work secures the diamond window insert. Folded seams and rolled rims add stiffness and comfort at touch points.
