Pair of Early 20th Century English Factory Lights

1900 - 1920
Description

Pair of Early 20th Century English Copper & Glass Factory Lights

A highly decorative and well-shaped matched pair of early 20th Century English copper and mercury glass factory light pendants. Recently rewired to a 240v UK power source. The pendants are constructed of copper sheet metal and the inner reflective sections from a Holophane mercury reflective glass. These examples would look very stylish hung in a modern-day kitchen or hallway setting.

Dimensions in inches: H 15” x W 11” x D 11”

Age: Early 20th Century

Origin: English

Condition: Aged

These items show natural wear and aging through obvious use over the years. Both surfaces are worn with aged stains (scratches and dinks) as shown, the mercury glass is also aged through flaking and decay. The top gallery is not in place, but this doesn’t matter as they are in place and not noticeable once hung from a height.

We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase.

A direct message usually takes 24 hours to answer.

For multiple years we have sold antique items globally, please expect our items to show relevant age and natural wear, Items only restored due to breaks and major loss, and we always stipulate this in our condition report.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Designed for commercial and manufacturing environments, early 20th-century factory lights provided durable, utilitarian illumination across industrial workspaces.

These lights were typically constructed from heavy-gauge cast iron, steel, or aluminium, often incorporating thick glass diffusers and heavy-duty suspension chains to withstand harsh conditions.

Authentic pieces often display makers marks, cast metal stamps, original ceramic elements, and natural surface wear or oxidisation along seams and suspension points.

Hang a pair above a kitchen island, dining table, or long office desk to create focused task lighting and introduce strong textural contrast within contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and clean glass diffusers with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that could strip original patination or protective coatings.
