Avalon Oval Chandelier by CTO Lighting

Avalon Oval is the oval version of the Avalon ring: a long, narrow band of honed alabaster in a bronze or brass frame, made by CTO Lighting of London. It is 62.6 in (1590 mm) long and 13.4 in (340 mm) wide, made for a long dining table, a console or a kitchen island.

It comes in 3 finishes: Antique Bronze, Bronze and Satin Brass, each with honed alabaster, and 2 canopy options: a ceiling plate or a ceiling rose.

The Design Story

Avalon takes its name from the legendary island. CTO imagined cascades of light from a ring of alabaster held in brass or bronze, and hung it from minimal stainless-steel cables so that it seems to hover. The honed alabaster cylinders give off an ambient, ethereal glow, and the design balances contemporary and classic.

The Story of CTO Lighting

Chris and Clare Turner founded CTO Lighting in London in 1998 on one principle: design lights of uncompromising quality, using only the finest materials and working with elite British craftsmen. Chris is an engineer who designs and builds with meticulous detail, and Clare brings the eye of fashion. Together they built a name for understated luxury in hand-finished brass, mouth-blown glass and artisan-cut stone, and the collection has gone on to light The Savoy, The Dorchester, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and Chiltern Firehouse.

How It Was Made

CTO assembles every light to order. The alabaster is mined in Zaragoza, Spain, and cut and honed by hand, so the veining of every cylinder is its own. It is held in a solid ring of bronze, antique bronze or satin brass. Integrated LEDs light the stone, and stainless-steel cables hold the ring.

The Finishes

Antique Bronze. Rich, deep tones with a natural patina. Each fixture shows the character of the material and the hand of the British artisans who finish it.

Bronze. Deep, rich color and a robust build bring a touch of historical weight to a modern room, with a warm, inviting glow.

Satin Brass. Warm golden tones and a brushed, satin surface give a soft sheen that feels luxurious but understated. CTO selects the metal for its durability and beauty.

Honed Alabaster. Every piece is cut from natural stone, prized for its soft, diffused light. The veining occurs naturally, so no two are alike, from almost white to grey-veined.

Why You’ll Love It

Avalon Oval lays the same soft, stone glow along a rectangle of space. It suits tables and islands that a round ring does not reach, and it dims to a gentle light.

Made for Real Life

The 110-130V version has an integrated 110W LED at 2700K and dims with a trailing-edge (phase-cut) dimmer as standard. The LED driver sits in the ceiling cavity, up to 65.6 ft (20 m) from the light. The fixture weighs 99.2 lb (45 kg), so the ceiling structure must be able to support it. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and use a slightly damp cloth for marks. Skip detergents and abrasives on the alabaster and the metal.

Sizes in Inches: Length, Width and Canopy

CTO lists Avalon Oval at 62.6 in long, 13.4 in wide and 2.8 in high (1590 x 340 x 70 mm). It comes with 4 stainless-steel suspension power cables, each 98.4 in (2500 mm) long and adjustable on site, and a ceiling plate or a ceiling rose. The overall drop is a minimum of 11.8 in (300 mm) with the ceiling plate or 13.6 in (345 mm) with the ceiling rose, and up to 200 in (5080 mm) on request.

Questions We Hear Most

Is Avalon Oval dimmable?

Yes. The 110-130V version dims with a trailing-edge (phase-cut) dimmer as standard, and 0/1-10V control is available on request.

How big is Avalon Oval?

It is 62.6 in (1590 mm) long, 13.4 in (340 mm) wide and 2.8 in (70 mm) high.

How heavy is it, and how far does it hang?

It weighs 99.2 lb (45 kg), so the ceiling structure must support it. The overall drop is a minimum of 11.8 in (300 mm) with the ceiling plate or 13.6 in (345 mm) with the ceiling rose, and up to 200 in (5080 mm) on request.

What is the difference between the ceiling plate and the ceiling rose?

They are the two canopy options for the same light. The plate sits flat to the ceiling, and the rose is a larger, deeper canopy. The light itself is the same.

Is every alabaster piece the same?

No. Alabaster is natural stone mined in Zaragoza, Spain, so the veining and tone vary from piece to piece, from almost white to grey-veined.

How do I clean it?

Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and use a slightly damp lint-free cloth for marks. CTO advises against detergents and abrasive cleaners on the alabaster and the metal.
