This early twentieth-century industrial pendant light dates from 1920 and combines clear prismatic glass with a dark brass and copper finish. The design features a double-tiered ribbed shade system with a vented slotted metal gallery at the top, secured by a suspension hook. The clear glass shades diffuse light through precision-moulded internal prisms, while the aged metal gallery shows natural patination and surface wear appropriate to its age. The fixture measures 45.5 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, and requires rewiring before installation. Suitable for interior suspension in spaces such as kitchens, hallways, or open-plan industrial loft settings, the light hangs from a matching chain to provide directional illumination.

FAQs

Holophane glass was patented in the late nineteenth century, using moulded glass prisms designed to refract and diffuse artificial light evenly without diminishing brightness.

These ceiling fixtures generally feature heavy moulded glass shades with internal and external ribbing, fitted into brass, bronze, or blackened iron metal galleries.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit maker marks stamped around the glass collar or rim, crisp geometric glass mouldings, and heavy brass or copper galleries with patina.

Prismatic pendants can be suspended individually or in rows above kitchen islands, dining tables, or hallways to introduce functional industrial texture into modern spaces.

Glass shades should be wiped with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or cleaned using warm water and mild soap, ensuring metal galleries remain dry to protect the aged finish.
