Custom Chandelier Finishes: The Rose in Champagne Chain
There’s something about the shimmer of a champagne finish that feels instantly luxurious — soft, tonal, and timeless. At willowlamp, we’ve created a signature finish that captures this understated glamour by blending two of our standard ball chain materials: brass and silver chrome. The result is a warm, lustrous surface tone that shifts in the light, perfect for clients seeking something elevated yet subtle.
Our Rose chandelier, shown here with a cropped edge in this bespoke champagne finish, is a perfect canvas for this effect.
A Rose by Any Edge: Two Styles, Infinite Possibilities
The Rose chandelier features layered chain curtains that unfold like petals from a central point, forming a precise, architectural bloom. It can be ordered with either a straight (cropped) edge for a clean finish, or a looped edge for a softer, more decorative look.
Each Rose chandelier begins with a laser-cut stainless steel plate, forming the architectural base for its layered, petal-like design. Whether suspended or ceiling-mounted, every piece is made to order — allowing interior designers and specifiers to fine-tune the form, finish, and edge style to suit their space.
Straight Cut (Cropped Edge)
The most minimalist of our edge styles, this finish features a clean, linear edge where each chain strand is precisely trimmed to the same length. It creates a crisp silhouette with strong horizontal presence — ideal for sleek, modern interiors where clarity and structure take precedence.
Looped Edge
Here, each chain strand is looped back up to the frame, using our patented fastener free notch system. This allows for the formation of a series of soft scalloped curves reminiscent of flower petals. This finish removes any “loose ends,” lending a sense of cohesion and ornamental softness to the overall form. It’s especially well-suited to organic or floral-inspired shapes — like the Rose — where natural curvature and rhythm are central to the design.

What Makes willowlamp's Champagne Finish Different?
Standard ball chain finishes at willowlamp include pure brass, copper, silver chrome, smoke gunmetal, black oxide, and our mixed metallics range. Each has its own character:
✦ Brass brings warmth, vintage appeal, and a golden glow.
✦ Silver chrome is sleek, polished, and modern.
✦ Black oxide is deep, dramatic, and rich in contrast.
✦ Smoke gunmetal has a cooler, steel-toned industrial edge.
✦ Mixed metallics combine multiple tones for bold, high-impact contrasts.
But the champagne finish — a deliberate blend of brass and silver chrome chains — is something different. It softens the gold of brass without losing warmth, and lightens the tone of silver without veering cold. The interplay of cool and warm metals creates a dynamic, tonal complexity — never flat, never garish.
It’s ideal for interiors where designers want to echo beige stone, travertine, oak, brushed golds or soft neutrals, without overpowering the palette.
Why Made-to-Order Matters
Every willowlamp chandelier is made to order — which means you can request this champagne blend on any design in our collection, not just the Rose. This level of customisation is what makes willowlamp a powerful design partner for architects and interior designers.
Because our luminaires are constructed using a patented notch system — which holds lengths of ball chain perfectly in place — we can adjust:
✦ Edge styles (cropped, looped, shaped, feathered, or sculpted)
✦ Chain finishes (explore our full range of finishes in our finishes guide)
✦ Mounting type (suspended or flush)
✦ Scale and volume (upscaling or downscaling depending on your space)
✦ Form and geometry (simple, shaped, or fully sculptural designs)
The champagne finish is just one example of what’s possible when form and finish are designed together.
