{"product_id":"halden-black-travertine-saucer-pendant","title":"Halden Black Travertine Saucer Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wide black travertine saucer, 25 cm across, with an opal glass globe sitting under the middle of it. The widest piece in the pendant range and, at 10 cm deep, also one of the shallowest, which is a combination that usually means a metal fitting rather than a stone one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe saucer works as a reflector turned upside down. It stops the globe throwing light at the ceiling and pushes everything down and outward instead, so you get the diffuse glow of a bare globe with none of the wash above it. In a room with a dark ceiling that difference is the whole game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntrance halls.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide enough to be the only fitting in the space, shallow enough to hang under a standard ceiling without ducking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver an island.\u003c\/strong\u003e One centred does what two narrow pendants do, and the visible globe gives the room a soft point of light rather than a bright slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRooms where the ceiling is the problem.\u003c\/strong\u003e Artex, a bad patch repair, a sloping line.

On black travertine those pores read as light flecks. Your saucer will not match the photographs and, at this width, the difference will be obvious. That is what buying stone means.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo hundred centimetres of cable, trimmed to your drop. In a hall, keep 2.1 m from the floor to the bottom of the globe. Over an island, 80 cm from the worktop to the underside of the saucer. This one takes a G9 LED bulb rather than the E27 used elsewhere in the range, and the bulb is included. Not dimmable, and it wants a qualified electrician. The 12 cm wooden ceiling plate covers a standard rose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Travertina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54617485508949,"sku":"TRV-PD-HAL-BLK","price":179.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/8212\/1557\/files\/travertine-pendant-light-saucer-black-30-1.webp?v=1786542395","url":"https:\/\/travertina.co.uk\/products\/halden-black-travertine-saucer-pendant","provider":"Travertina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
