Besa Pape 12 Ribbed Glass Globe Pendant, Stem Mount

The Pape 12 globe on a rigid, adjustable stem: every shade hangs straight and still, even from a vaulted ceiling, thanks to the swivel canopy.

• ✓ Rigid stem kit
• ✓ Swivel canopy for sloped ceilings
• ✓ Wide 11.75" ridged globe
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ LED option, 800 lm

This is the stem-mount version of Besa Lighting’s Pape 12, a wide yet compact ridged glass globe, softly radiused. The globe is the same one Besa offers on its other mounts, 11.75 inches across and 7.5 inches tall, but it hangs from a plated steel stem kit: a telescoping section with up to 3 inches of adjustment plus 3", 6", 12" and 18" sections, 39 inches as standard and up to 10 feet with extra sections. A swivel at the 5-inch canopy lets the stem hang plumb under a sloped ceiling.

Opal Ribbed is a soft white cased glass blown into a faceted mold that gives the outer wall its ridges, with a satin-etched clear outer layer; Glitter is clear blown glass with a crystal coating applied inside, built from micro-layers of glass particles that read as frosted when unlit and come alive with prismatic sparkle when lit. Order the LED version (a 9W replaceable, dimmable LED source is included: 800 lumens at 3000K, CRI 90+) or the incandescent version for a 100W A19 medium-base (E26) bulb of your choice. The photos show the Pape 12 glass options; on this version the shade hangs from the stem kit pictured in the drawing.

Best for

Vaulted and sloped ceilings, long islands, restaurant and café counters, and any run of pendants that should sit at exactly the same height. The Pape 12 itself suits kitchen islands and dining tables in pairs or threes, entries, bedside drops and hospitality counters where a wide, soft shade should repeat.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants to change the drop freely after installation: the stem length is set by assembling sections.
• Drops longer than 10 ft: that is the stem kit’s maximum.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.
• Outdoor porches and patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the stem Pape 12 solves a common problem on sloped ceilings: the swivel canopy and rigid stem keep each shade plumb and in line. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the shade cool, wipe the glass with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the stem and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
