The Dove 30-Light Multi-Drop Pendant has pleated shades made of pale ceramic that diffuse the light wafting through them. The indentions and ridges on the shades of the white pendant bring a textural feel to this luminary even though it is monochromatic. The canopy of this piece is luminous in a painted Contemporary Silver finish that includes some subtle gold undertones. All multi-drop fixtures arrive unassembled. A licensed electrician skilled with hanging fixture assembly and installation should be consulted to plan and perform installation. The thin aircraft cable used for suspending shades arrives in a 10' coil. Cable variances are determined by you and the installer. Installer will cut cable lengths, link shades to cables, and install fixture.
