Jhoomer & Traditional Hanging Lamps

Jhoomers sit between a chandelier and a lantern, and are specified differently from either. They are usually hung lower, in an entrance, a balcony or a pooja room, where the fixture is meant to be seen at close range rather than read as a ceiling feature.

The pieces in this section run through brass and antique brass, coloured and etched glass, and hand-worked metal frames. Several are sized for a single point in a corner or a niche rather than a room centre.

If you are matching an existing set, bring a photograph. Traditional pieces vary enough between makers that a description rarely identifies one correctly.
