Original BTC Shard Chandelier 70 Light
The generously sized Shard Chandelier is ideal for adding drama to living rooms, spacious hallways and lobbies alike. Designed as a central lighting source, the Shard 70 is made up of 30 handmade bone china tiles surrounding a suspended frosted glass disc. The three E26 bulbs cast their light onto and through the matt finish tiles, which emit a wonderfully ambient glow, while the glass disc provides a soft diffused light. Also available in a larger size.
Each bone china piece is manufactured according to traditional methods by our highly skilled team in Stoke-on-Trent, where now only a handful of ceramic factories exist. The process begins with a slip (clay and water mix) being poured into moulds. Once set, the moulds are split and the shade, base or ceiling rose is removed and left overnight to dry before being sponged and fettled to remove any imperfections. The items are finally biscuit fired for a natural white finish.
