INFORMATION
Samples
Our samples are available to purchase here with each being a hand-cut sample of each of the 24 glass colours in our range as well as each of our 10 flex colours and 5 fittings finishes. Each sample costs £3 with a flat rate £5 postage fee and are posted with printed copies of our latest brochures. Special glass colours can be blown at a cost of £30 per sample.
Free-Blown and Bespoke Lighting
Bespoke commissions can be undertaken, with a quotation provided at the time of enquiry. As each piece is unique and free-blown, any small imperfections, slight variations in colour and size are all part of the making process. There may be small chips around the drill hole, which is an inevitable feature of hand-drilled glass. However, these will always be covered by the lamp holder.
Installation
LIGHT PIECES MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN and in accordance with the customer’s country’s current wiring and building regulations. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure all suspension points for any light piece is sufficient to safely hold the specified weight (see relevant weights on previous pages). Fixings to the ceiling are not supplied – please use suitable fixings for installation. Installation is the sole responsibility of the customer unless otherwise stated on the quotation.
Repairs & Maintenance
Upkeep of the light piece is the sole responsibility of the customer unless otherwise arranged. It is important that a qualified electrician undertakes electrical repairs. If you damage your light we offer a full repair service and a quotation will be supplied at the time of enquiry.
Cleaning
We recommend you polish the glass with a spray of water and an E-Cloth (www.e-cloth.com). Ensure the light is switched off when cleaning and care must be taken not to pull the flex or allow water to fall on the fitment. Regular dusting with a feather duster will also help keep the glass clean. Cleaning packs are available at an additional cost of £10 each (ex.VAT).
American Fittings
E26 fittings are supplied for North America and Japan. Instead of a three cord fabric twisted flex, a single braided flex is used for these fittings, available in all the standard flex colours. All individual parts used are UL rated. We do not stock E26 bulbs and these must be supplied by the customer.
Descriptions and Price
As the description of the goods or their prices may change at any time without notice, we advise that you contact us to confirm any details. Any weights, dimensions and capacities given are approximate only.
Conditions of Sale and Payment
Orders require payment in full for work to commence. It is important to confirm all details in the order and to check any associated designs or drawings are correct. For most orders we aim to deliver starting from 8 weeks from receipt of your payment and an estimated delivery date will be confirmed once this has been received. All orders will not be released/dispatched until full payment has been received. For large bespoke chandeliers and orders with a quantity of 15 or more pendants a longer lead-time will be required, to be confirmed at the time of ordering. If an order is placed but then cancelled, Curiousa Ltd will retain a 50% deposit.

We deliver worldwide and costs are quoted at the time of ordering. Any taxes payable at the destination port, customs clearance fees, or any other costs, are the responsibility of the customer.

A dispatch note will be emailed referencing a tracking number for each package; all packages have to be signed for on delivery. At delivery, the light must be checked thoroughly for damage. If it has been damaged in transit, a replacement piece will be resent at no extra cost. Any damage after delivery is not our responsibility and replacements will incur additional costs.
