About 3688BN Three Light Pendant
What is 3688BN Three Light Pendant?
3688BN Three Light Pendant is a three-light chandelier that blends mid-century restraint with a subtle industrial edge. The fixture houses three clear seedy glass globes, each anchored by a knurled brass knob that adds tactile interest while keeping the shades securely in place. A polished brass trim ring at the base ties the design together, delivering a cohesive vintage aesthetic that works equally well in formal dining rooms, contemporary lofts, or boutique retail environments. The fixture is wired for a standard 120-V circuit and includes a brass mounting bracket that simplifies installation. Its dimensions—12 inches in diameter and 18 inches from the mounting plate to the lowest glass—make it a versatile centerpiece without dominating the ceiling plane.
