{"product_id":"visual-comfort-lorford-medium-semiflush-lantern","title":"Visual Comfort Lorford Semi-Flush Ceiling Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecorative ceiling lights often look striking in a mood board but lose their impact when the wrong scale or finish lands in a finished room. The Lorford sidesteps this problem by offering a design grounded in historical proportion — where every material choice is deliberate and the layered construction creates visual depth that photographs rarely capture fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor semi-flush fittings, the key consideration is ceiling clearance and the quality of ambient light cast downward and outward. A translucent shade — particularly one with a reflective, mottled texture like antiqued mercury glass — diffuses the light source while retaining warmth and atmosphere. The result is softer, more layered illumination than an open or clear-glass fitting would produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Visual Comfort Lorford Semi-Flush Ceiling Light is designed by Chapman \u0026amp; Myers, a studio known for its historically informed, transitional aesthetic. The fitting features a wide, bowl-shaped antiqued mercury glass shade with a flat glass disc positioned above it, held by a central stem — a detail that adds visual layering and references 19th-century lantern construction. The arched bail-style handle connects to the rim via small decorative ball finials, completing a silhouette that sits confidently between traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metalwork is finished in aged iron — a dark, textured treatment with a slightly pitted surface that contrasts with the silver, gold, and grey tones of the distressed glass shade. This high-contrast pairing gives the fitting a considered, tactile quality that suits both period and transitional modern spaces. As no variant options are currently listed, please contact Lightsource Studio to confirm available finish or size configurations for this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lorford is rated IP20, making it suitable for dry interior spaces — living rooms, entrance halls, dining rooms, and bedrooms with adequate ceiling height. The semi-flush mounting system seats the canopy flush against the ceiling with the fixture body suspended a short distance below on a central stem, keeping the profile compact without sacrificing presence. The fitting accommodates multiple bulbs, visible through the translucent mercury glass, so lamp choice will influence warmth and colour rendering — worth specifying carefully. Please confirm lamp type, wattage, and dimmer compatibility at the point of order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Lightsource Studio, we work with Chapman \u0026amp; Myers and the broader Visual Comfort portfolio because the design intent and material quality hold up under specification scrutiny — not just on screen. Whether you are sourcing a single statement piece or coordinating fittings across a larger project, we can advise on lamp selection, dimming compatibility, and lead times to keep your installation on track.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56286792155462,"sku":"20208604","price":2179.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8982\/3558\/files\/156783.jpg?v=1775135392","url":"https:\/\/www.lightsourcestudio.es\/en\/products\/visual-comfort-lorford-medium-semiflush-lantern","provider":"Lightsource Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
