Fitting Options

A beautiful vintage French brocante find, this authentic opaline milk glass ceiling pendant lampshade features a classic coolie shape, softly pleated white glass and a distinctive clear glass rim. Measuring approximately 26cm in diameter, it retains its original brass gallery and is an elegant choice for French country, cottage, farmhouse and period interiors.

The opaque white opaline glass softly diffuses the light, while the clear outer rim adds definition to the pleated edge and highlights the original vintage glasswork. The brass gallery fits a standard UK pendant bulb holder, making this an attractive and practical way to introduce genuine French vintage lighting into a kitchen, bedroom, hallway, cloakroom or living space.

This shade is also available with an optional UK brass B22 bayonet bulb holder and 50cm of twisted vintage-style brown or black electrical cable. Longer cable lengths are available on request at an additional £5 per metre/£2.50 per half metre.
