About the Item

A broad, shallow white opaline glass shade forms the foundation of this antique pendant light, originally designed to cast a soft, even illumination over a wide area. Blown in semi-translucent milk glass, the shade features a gently sloping profile that rises to a raised neck fitting. The glass is secured beneath a spun copper and brass gallery displaying an authentic, unpolished aged patina. Pierced ventilation ports around the waist allow heat from the bulb to disperse naturally, while the lower collar is detailed with an embossed pattern and three knurled brass retaining screws. Inside the gallery, the fixture retains a standard brass bayonet cap (B22) bulb holder positioned within a white-enamelled interior that aids light reflection. Dating to circa 1920, the lamp was removed from a chapel interior and retains its suspension loop and steel hanging chain. Measuring 33 cm in height and 36 cm in overall diameter, the light provides generous proportions suitable for hallways, kitchen islands, or traditional interiors. While modern three-core electrical flex is currently fitted, the pendant should be tested and installed by a qualified electrician prior to domestic use. A small chip is present along the top lip of the glass neck, which is fully covered and hidden from view when seated inside the gallery. The metal gallery shows light oxidation, minor surface marks, and natural age-related tarnishing throughout. We ship internationally, tracked.
