This Art Deco pendant light from 1930 comprises an off-white opalescent frosted glass bowl set within a dark bronze patinated brass rim. The frame incorporates spherical ball finials and hangs from the ceiling by a linked metal chain attached to an age-darkened brass ceiling rose. The piece measures 56 cm high and 41 cm wide in total dimensions. Suitable for period and contemporary interiors, the pendant provides atmospheric upward illumination when wired into a central ceiling point. The design suits placement in living rooms, hallways or dining spaces, casting a soft, diffused glow through the opalescent shade while maintaining a streamlined silhouette typical of the period.

FAQs

Art Deco ceiling lighting from the 1920s and 1930s emphasises geometric symmetry, streamlined forms, and the use of frosted, moulded, or opalescent glass to diffuse ambient light evenly.

These light fixtures typically feature thick pressed or opalescent glass bowls suspended by brass, bronze, or nickel-plated chains and metal collar rims with spherical finial lugs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle hand-finished details, heavy moulded glass, patinated metalwork, and period-appropriate chain suspension fittings rather than lightweight modern synthetic substitutes.

Position the pendant in an entryway, hallway, or above a dining space where the ambient upward lighting highlights ceiling architecture while serving as a period focal point.

Wipe the glass bowl gently with a damp microfibre cloth using mild soapy water, avoiding abrasive cleaners on patinated metal surfaces or wiring components.
