Pair of Antique Glass Holophane Pendant Lights

1900 - 1920
Description

A pair of glass holophane pendant lights dating from the early 20th Century. The shades are made from ribbed prismatic glass with a wavy edge and each has its original metal gallery with three fixing screws.

They have been rewired with a simple braided flex cord and modern bayonet bulb holder.

The lights are in good condition with no major damages, just a few small nibbles around the edges of the glass. They have been cleaned and the galleries have been lightly polished. They are ready to install but we always recommend that the lights are checked and installed by a professional electrician.

Approximate Measurements:

Height : 7" / 18cm

Width : 8 1/2" / 22cm

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Holophane glass pendant lights feature molded prismatic glass shades developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to diffuse and maximize illumination efficiently without glare.

Period pendant lights typically feature borosilicate or pressed prismatic glass paired with solid brass galleries, aged copper fittings, and braided fabric flex cords.

Authentic antique holophane shades often feature maker marks stamped near the rim or gallery collar, heavy molded glass with crisp prismatic ribs, and subtle patina on the original brass fittings.

Suspend a pair of clear glass pendants above a kitchen island or dining table to add architectural texture and ambient lighting while maintaining an open visual field.

Clean glass shades using warm water mixed with mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth, ensuring brass gallery fittings remain dry to prevent unintended oxidisation or damage to historical patination.
