Vintage French Frosted Glass Pendant Lamp Shade with Brass Gallery – circa. 1940s

A charming vintage French frosted glass ceiling pendant lamp shade, complete with its original brass gallery. Sourced from a traditional French brocante market, this piece likely dates from the 1940s.

The handmade glass features an elegant frilled edge. When unlit, it has a subtle grey frosted tone. Once lit, it provides beautifully diffused, ambient lighting — softer and more atmospheric than clear glass shades. The original brass gallery is included and fits a standard UK bulb holder, brass bulb holder and twisted brown or black wiring available as an optional extra.
