Globe Series Pipe Fitter
Starting at $3,000 USD
Our glass globes are offered with a choice of three fitters: the pipe fitter, shown here, is a simple metal stem inspired in part by 20th century industrial designs often found in schoolhouses. It is hand made in a 150-year-old French workshop, offered in seven metal finishes, and connects to your choice of egg or round glass globe via a cast brass canopy. Globes are crafted domestically by skilled artisans using mouth blowing and hand shaping. Each can be specified in a choice of three glass tones (clear, nude and gradient) and three sizes.
Glass shade sold separately, choose from Egg or Bubble.
Please note that lighting exceeding 36” in height is made with multi-piece stems, where slim seams may be visible.
*Select the drop range you'd like and we'll contact you to confirm the exact dimension. Additionally, if purchased on our site we will contact you after purchase with the correct shipping charges from France.
