Where a turned column meets a brass scroll
The column is the heirloom and the arms are the gesture - slender brass that curls outward, each one presenting a ceramic blossom as its crowning petal.
The center is a turned ash-wood column, lathe-shaped into a vase profile and finished to keep its grain rather than hide it, topped with a brass collar where the arms gather so the two materials read as one considered joint. From that column, slim arms scroll out on a gentle curve, then bow downward to present a fluted ceramic petunia that diffuses the lamp into a soft, even bloom.
Iron and copper form the hidden frame inside each branch, so the brass skin stays slender and the timber column stays true over years of seasonal movement. The result is a vintage chandelier that behaves like an inherited piece overhead: gentle enough for a bedroom, composed enough to anchor a restored lounge.
The look leans on old-world restraint rather than sparkle - fluted porcelain, a warm patina and a silhouette that reads as heirloom the moment it is hung. Where a crystal piece announces itself, this fixture whispers period character into timber, plaster and linen alike.

The craft behind the blossoms
Turned ash-wood column
The center is solid ash wood, lathe-turned to a vase profile and capped with a brass joint where the branches gather, so the heritage tone sits at the fixture's heart.
Scrolling brass branches
Slender branches curl out on a soft scroll and bow down to present each bloom, lending the silhouette its retro reach rather than a stiff radial spray. The antique gold skin catches candlelight without glaring.
Ceramic petunia shades
Fluted ceramic flowers with gold rims cradle the bulb so the light leaves as a soft, even bloom with no hotspot - the glazed petal glows rather than the filament showing. Each shade is thrown and fired by hand.
Brass ceiling rose and drop
A slim brass drop link hangs from a matching ceiling rose, so the timber-and-brass language carries from the roof right down to the column without a metal break.
Universal E27 bulb
Each bloom takes a standard E27 bulb - warm filament for homes, high-CRI LED for retail - and replacements are available in any market.
Iron/Copper + timber build
Iron and copper form the hidden inner frame of every branch, letting the brass stay slim and the timber column stay dimensionally stable through humidity swings.
Specifying the petunia pendant for the room
The vintage chandelier earns its keep on calm - give it a plain plaster or timber backdrop and let the ceramic blooms set the period mood.
Choose the head count by role
Pick three blossoms where the pendant supports a setting - a bedside pair, a reading corner, a compact breakfast nook. Move to five or eight when the bloom cluster must lead: over a dining table, down a corridor, or as the single statement in a restored lounge. The 990 mm version stretches the arm span for wider tables and longer reception counters.
Pick the finish to match the room
Gold carries the brass arms into walnut cabinetry, aged mirrors and warm wood floors; wood grain lets the column echo the room's timber; white lets the ceramic blooms float against pale ceilings and linen walls. Repeating one finish across every pendant in a project keeps the language consistent - say it once, don't alternate it.
Mind the chain drop and column height
Decide the working height before installation: blooms around 1.5–1.6 m above a table for intimacy, or higher in open rooms so the arms read against the wall. The brass chain sets the drop; the canopy hides the junction and keeps the wood column level.
Choose the lamp deliberately
The E27 socket is your specification point: a 2700K filament lamp deepens the ceramic glow for homes, while a 90+ CRI LED renders timber and brass accurately in hospitality. Tell us the application and we recommend the lamp and dimming behavior before you order samples.

Where the petunia pendant belongs
Dining Table
The ceramic blooms drop over the table, turning dinner into a soft, candlelit scene while the gold branches echo a nostalgic parlour. Their warm halo makes a plain timber top feel like a period drawing-room.
Bedside Corner
A three-blossom version beside the bed frees the nightstand and gives the room one gentle, heirloom point of light. Its porcelain petals suit a linen headboard far better than a stark modern disc.
Living Room Sofa
Dropped over the sofa, the ceramic petals glow like small lanterns and the timber column ties the seating to the floor below. The old-world silhouette calms a busy lounge without shouting for attention.
Hotel Reception
Behind the marble counter, the gold branches carry the lobby's brass details and mark the desk from across the room. A restored salon reads instantly more generous under this bloom cluster.
Entry Console
Centered above the console, the bloom cluster greets arrivals with a soft halo and sets a heritage tone for the interior. The fluted shades recall a courtyard villa rather than a showroom fitting.
Study Desk
The ceramic blooms throw even working light across the leather chair and shelving without a hint of screen glare. A scholar's nook gains a quiet, bookish warmth that a bare bulb could never lend.
A maker that turns, scrolls and assembles in-house
Drawn, thrown and glazed on-site
The column is modelled and thrown on our own lathe, and the ceramic petals are glazed in the same building, so a new silhouette moves from sketch to sample without leaving the floor.
Quote built on the workshop floor
Because the bench that bends the metal and fires the clay is ours, the price that reaches you skips the trading layer in between.
Level bloom alignment
A holding jig seats every branch during build, keeping the ceramic blossoms level and evenly spaced around the column rather than drifting out of plane.
Spec from a snapshot
Send a photo of the room and we will name the right head count, finish, drop and reach before you sign anything.
Backup hardware included
Every case carries a small kit of spare screws and ceiling parts, so a bent bracket becomes a quick swap rather than a repeat order.
Brand-ready cartons
Cartons, tags and finish sheets take your artwork, whether the run is a single box or a full container for a chain.
Cradle-packed petals
Each glazed bloom rides in a carved foam seat that grips the branch, while columns are double-wrapped with a hang guide tucked inside.
Profile kept on file
We file your head count, finish and bulb choice, so a later reorder matches the sample you approved.
Tune the column, the arms and the glaze
Private-label runs are welcome: bespoke colour codes for your catalogue, a different branch count off the column, drop lengths matched to the ceiling, or a three- and eight-bloom pairing on one wall. Each variant is checked for level bloom arc and a true column before the first piece is cut.
Common requests cover scene-control kits for hotel groups, a matching bloom series across the corridors and rooms of one property, and reception builds that pick up a client's own metal through the brass joint.

Fitting and caring for the petunia pendant
Fitting guidance
- ✓Isolate the circuit at the main board before any wiring starts.
- ✓Fix the brass ceiling rose into a joist or blocking, not only the plaster.
- ✓Set the drop link to its planned length and check the column hangs level before the final tighten.
- ✓Fit the E27 bulbs, then switch on to confirm every bloom lights before you leave the ladder.
Care guidance
- ✓Dust the branches and petals with a soft dry cloth, following the scroll rather than rubbing across.
- ✓Wipe the timber column with a barely damp cloth; solvents dull the wood and brass.
- ✓Keep the brass link dry and buff it now and then to hold its tone.
- ✓Once a year, check the link grip at the rose and the seat of each petal on its branch.
Questions buyers ask most
1. How many blossoms should I choose, three, five or eight?
Three blooms suit bedside pairs, reading corners and compact nooks; five or eight lead a dining table, corridor or reception counter. Many projects run the three-bloom version in guestrooms and the eight-bloom one in public areas of the same building.
2. What is the difference between the 550, 750 and 990 sizes?
The three sizes share the period look; 550 mm is the tight cluster for standard rooms, 750 mm adds arm span for wider tables, and 990 mm stretches the reach for grand counters and lobbies.
3. What bulb does each bloom take?
Each ceramic petunia takes one standard E27 lamp. A 2700K filament-style lamp deepens the bloom glow, while a high-CRI LED suits retail; the socket accepts any equivalent lamp, so replacements are easy to source locally.
4. Can the chain be set to a specific drop?
Yes. Tell us the ceiling height and where the column should sit; we set the brass chain before dispatch so the pendant arrives ready to hang at the planned level.
5. Do the ceramic petals survive shipping?
Each bloom travels in a carved foam seat that grips the branch and column, so the glazed surface arrives intact; spare fittings ride in every carton besides.
6. Which safety marks can you supply?
CE, RoHS, CB, ETL or FCC are arranged to match the country you sell into. Name the market when you enquire and we lock the mark set before sampling.
7. How quickly do orders ship?
A standard order leaves in about four to five weeks depending on the finish mix; an express slot can open when the calendar allows.
8. Can I order a trial piece first?
Yes. Leave your contact details and we will quote one unit with a delivery date for the standard gold build.
