Portsea Pendant Light

Yes! With just a little regular care, your light shade will continue to shine for years. To keep it looking its best, here are a few simple tips:

1. Gently remove dust using a large (unused) wall paintbrush. Its long soft bristles easily reach into the weave to clean all the nooks and crannies. Alternatively, you can use a vacuum with a soft furnishing attachment. Just remember to support the light's weight while cleaning to avoid any damage.
2. Occasionally, you may notice small grass-like strands poking out of the rattan or seagrass. Don't pull on them, gently trim any loose fibres with fine scissors or cuticle clippers.
3. Keep it away from moisture, and only hang it inside – grey is not its most flattering colour.
4. Ensure it is hung in a well ventilated place as they doesn't like humid environments.

I have personally chosen each of my makers, prioritising small, family-run businesses that share my passion for quality and craftsmanship. There is no middleman in the process. I work directly with the artisans, and they set the price for their wares. I don't negotiate because I believe in fair, ethical pricing that honours their craft.

The makers I first engaged are the same ones I continue to work with today, and over the years, we’ve built strong, lasting relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

I visit Indonesia to quality control each shipment, ensuring that every light meets my high standards. If I wouldn't hang it in my own home, I wont sell it.

Each piece is made in small batches, and the attention to detail in every weave and curve makes them a unique and lasting addition to your home.

While I don't sell the electrical kits at this stage, I've done all the hard work for you. When you make a purchase, I email you links to the best electrical kits for your specific pendant light shade. These kits are from trusted Australian suppliers, readily available, and cost from approximately $25.

For the perfect look and functionality, the ideal height for your lights can vary depending on the room, your ceiling height and style. I’ve put together a guide for each space on my blog, with specific height recommendations to help you make the best choice. Check out the guides for each room here.
