Archer Medium Chandelier

Eight bare bulbs ride a steel ring, strapped in like passengers on a fairground wheel.

The Archer Medium Chandelier is by Ralph Lauren, in industrial steel. Industrial lighting with exposed bulbs and plain metal frames borrows the look of early 20th century factories and workshops, and has become a familiar fixture in modern rooms. Here a dark, weathered steel ring holds eight upright sockets with clear bulbs. Angled straps rise above it to a single chain and fall below to a pointed finial, forming a diamond silhouette. A round canopy measures 7.25 inches, and it takes 8 keyless sockets at 40 watts. It is 29.25 inches high and 28.25 in diameter.

Workmanlike, with a well-kept sense of style.
