Our stunning dancing baskets, with their warm tones and beautiful weave, have been transformed into a beautiful, softly curving pendant light with a light ring woven into the basket to fit into your pendant light kit. Each pendant light shade is completely unique, with no two the same and each telling the story of the weaver.
Handcrafted in the Southern Province of Zambia, home of the stunning Victoria Falls and Zambezi River. Each basket is unique, handwoven by a women's cooperative of weavers who were displaced from their traditional homes when the Kariba Dam was established. They use their weaving skills and sustainable endemic materials to continue their craft while supporting their families.
HANDMADE & UNIQUE - PLEASE NOTE:
Our pendant light shades are completely unique! Sizes and colours can vary due to the handmade nature of the item. Minor imperfections such as a break in weave where a new palm frond is woven are not faults, they are part of the unique charm of each pendant! Colours can vary according to when in the season the pendant was woven, and can develop in time after installation, usually becoming slightly darker. We are happy to send photos of your exact pendants if you need to choose a particular shade to ensure your satisfaction prior to shipping, as returns and refunds on the above issues basis are not accepted. Please also note that the pendants are made from palm leaf, not plastic, and will have a natural pleasant organic aroma that lessens with time, but worth noting if you sensitive to smells.
CARE FOR YOUR PENDANT LIGHT SHADE
Pendant lights can be reshaped if required by wetting the basket prior to installation and inserting a dry towel inside the basket to shape it to the required dimensions. Let dry overnight.
Each pendant light comes with a metal ring woven in to fit into a standard pendant kit. The ring has an E27 sized insert which can be removed to accommodate larger pendant light kit (please see photo showing light ring measurements).
Keep your pendant light shade clean by dusting or wiping gently with a cloth.
We recommend that your lights be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure that they are installed correctly. If required by relevant safety standards, a fireproofing spray can be applied regularly.
