A 20-inch 1-light medium pendant from Nuvo's Perkins collection, finished in matte black with a burnished brass band, ideal for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Perkins medium pendant combines a shallow-dome metal shade with a decorative burnished brass band that cinches at the top, creating the illusion of a swirling skirt. The white interior maximizes light reflection, while the matte black exterior offers a refined, understated look. This versatile pendant works beautifully beyond the kitchen, adding a retro-modern touch to any room.

How bright is it?
Uses one 100-watt incandescent medium base bulb (not included). With a standard 100W bulb, output is approximately 1600 lumens – bright enough for task lighting over a kitchen island or dining table, but can be dimmed with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb for softer ambient light.
Light color and feel
Light color depends on the bulb you choose. A 2700K-3000K warm white bulb creates a cozy, inviting glow that complements the burnished brass and matte black finish. The white interior shade ensures even light distribution with minimal glare. Dimmable when used with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.
