ROUND ALABASTER HALO CHANDELIER | CLPOR022

Alabaster panels, held by brass at every corner.

A circular brass framework — top rail, bottom rail, vertical brass elements connecting them — with large rectangular alabaster panels inset into the architectural openings. Each panel is held in place by solid brass L-brackets at all four corners, visible at top and bottom, inside and outside. The brackets aren't decorative trim — they're the structural hardware that holds substantial pieces of stone, deliberately left visible as the design signature.

The construction language reads classical. The brass bracketing evokes Greek-revival architectural detailing — the kind of structural rigor found in late-19th-century European hotels and pre-war American libraries, scaled into contemporary fixture form. Where Joan reads soft-contemporary and Anelli reads clean-modern, Greca reads architectural-classical.

Greca leads with the alabaster itself. The panels are deliberately selected for dramatic veining — heavy mineral lines, high-contrast cream-and-black patterns, the kind of stone that reads as serious quarried material rather than uniform translucent diffuser. The brass framework is the supporting structure; the alabaster is the subject.

Where it belongs:

[GRECA 50 — 20"]

• Over a 4-seat round dining table or breakfast nook in a room with 9–10 ft ceilings.
• In a powder room or guest bathroom with formal ceiling height.
• Centered above a vanity in a primary closet or dressing room.
• In a smaller foyer where the classical bracket detail reads as the deliberate formal gesture.

[GRECA 60 — 24"]

• Over a 6-seat round dining table in a formal dining room with 10–12 ft ceilings.
• Above a kitchen breakfast area or smaller island.
• Centered in a primary bedroom suite, formal living room, or library.
• In a single-story foyer with 10+ ft ceilings, hung as a classical entry gesture.
• Above a round game table in a serious residence or club setting.

[GRECA 120 — 47"]

• The grand statement size — over a 12-seat round dining table in a formal dining room with 12–14 ft ceilings.
• In a grand foyer or double-height entry where the architectural brackets read from below and the alabaster glow reads from above.
• Centered in a hospitality space — boutique hotel restaurant, formal restaurant, private club dining room — where 47" of bracketed alabaster reads as commissioned design.
• Above a large round bar or formal lounge seating in serious commercial space.
• In a pre-war apartment or period-restored residence where classical architectural detailing already defines the interior language.

About the alabaster.

Every panel is hand-cut from solid Italian alabaster, selected specifically for dramatic veining. Unlike pieces in the catalog that favor softer, milkier alabaster (Goccia, Joan Singolo), Greca leads with the heavily-patterned stone — heavy black-and-cream mineral lines, dramatic geological character, the kind of stone that reads from across the room.

Selection criteria is reversed from most of the alabaster catalog: where other pieces hide the veining behind softer stone selection, Greca celebrates the veining as the visual signature. Each panel within a single Greca is selected for its individual character — no two panels match, by design.

Choose the veining intensity at checkout:

• High-contrast (Greca default) — heavy black mineral lines, dramatic cream-and-stone patterns
• Medium veining — moderate patterning, balanced contrast
• Softer veining — if you prefer a quieter read with the bracket detail still leading
• Random selection — we choose from stock

About the brass.

Every visible brass element — top frame ring, bottom frame ring, vertical connectors, L-brackets at every panel corner, chain, canopy, and all hardware — is solid brass. Not plated, not coated, not brass-finished steel.

The corner brackets are the design signature and require solid brass specifically: at the bracket contact points (where each L-bracket grips the alabaster panel), there's continuous pressure from the stone weight, and plated brass would wear and reveal itself within years. Solid brass holds geometry and patinates uniformly.

Default finish is solid brass. Available in chrome or brushed black on request — specify at checkout. All finishes at the same price.

Unlacquered brass darkens gently over years of use, deepening from its initial warm tone into a richer patina.

Suspension.

Solid brass chain (or chrome / black to match finish), 50cm / 20" standard length, fully customizable at order. Specify your ceiling height at checkout and we ship chain sized to your requirement at no additional charge. Extended chains for double-height foyers, two-story rooms, and grand entrances available.

The light.

[GRECA 50: 8 × G9, max 40W per socket. Total load 320W. Standard 600W dimmer accommodates the full load comfortably.] [GRECA 60: 10 × G9, max 40W per socket. Total load 400W. Standard 600W dimmer works.] [GRECA 120: 20 × G9, max 40W per socket. Total load 800W — requires 1000W-rated dimmer at full incandescent load. LED bulbs eliminate this concern entirely.]

LED G9 strongly recommended. Lower heat protects the alabaster long-term; LED at 4–6W per socket eliminates dimmer load concerns at all sizes.

Dimmable on TRIAC 120V AC — Lutron Caseta, US residential dimmers, most home automation.

Custom IP65 wet-rated version available.

Standard ships dry-rated for indoor use. For wet-zone applications — covered outdoor pavilions, primary bathrooms above tubs, hospitality wet zones — Greca is available with IP65 specification (sealed driver, gasketed canopy, wet-rated LED). Add $650 at checkout. Lead time extends 3–4 weeks.
