Includes 12 feet of twisted cloth cord the color of your choice and plug. It features a socket with an On/Off paddle switch, (full range dimmer available for an additional $6). Hardwired option with a canopy available upon request (contact me for finishes and styles). Pendant Dimensions: 8" Diam. x 3.5" H Uses: 1x 250W max. bulb (not included) Any imperfections present on the lamp are inherent to the handmade nature of this re-purposed light. Due to being hand-spun Shade tones may vary for the ones pictured. Most of my pieces are made with unfinished metals, therefore they will tarnish over time. Patina only adds character to the piece, but if tarnish is not desired wax or mineral oils can be applied regularly.

For Custom Walk-in Closet LightJay made a beautiful custom light for our walk-in closet. He took requirements & specifications from our designer and provided the perfect solution for the oddly positioned electrical box. Light was well constructed, expertly shipped, and reasonably priced.
