Established & Sons disclaims any responsibility deriving from incorrect use of the
mentioned object. Please read these instructions in full prior to handling. Keep these
instructions for future reference.
NOTE: This item is heavy! We advise 2 people are available to assemble.
DO NOT attempt to move without first carefully removing the shade.
Both popular for sculpture and building decor, white Carrara and black Marquina marble
are both characterised by the stunning veins that run across their surfaces. These
inclusion ’spots and veins’ are natural properties of the marble and are therefore not
considered faults.
Each beautifully formed glass shade has been hand-blown by some of Italy’s finest
glass artisans. This is a highly technical art form, involving specialist training and skill to
produce pieces of such quality. As a result, they will not have the machine-made symmetry
and precision of manufactured, machine-produced glass objects and will contain slight
irregularities and variations in the shape and finish.
Air bubbles are a common characteristic of both hand-blown and machine-produced
glass, caused when air becomes trapped within the heated glass during the blowing
process. Whilst this is kept to a minimum, it is likely that bubbles will be found in this
piece. This is not considered a defect.
Variations in the thickness of the shade are also a result of the piece being hand-blown.
This may result in some difficulty when fitting the shade or mean that the shade is not level
when initially installed. To rectify this, please follow assembly instructions.
