The Nolan collection pendant lamp illuminates in all directions, creating a wonderful display of artistic style and brilliance. If your home was a modern art exhibit, then you have curated the best possible piece of art--also known as the Nolan pendant lamp. With six lights pointing in different directions, and the two-toned matte black and brass finish gleaming in modern beauty, you won't have to worry about being "up-to-date" because you already are (light bulbs not included).
