Vintage Glass Pendant Light, Opal Sphere

Looking Through One Piece of Glass at Another Is What Gives This Depth

A single shade, however good the glass, shows you one surface. Putting a lit opal sphere inside a tinted drum means the eye reads two layers at once, the colored cylinder in front and the bright ball behind it, with a thin frame drawn between them. That is why the fitting still looks interesting from across a room where a plain tinted shade would read flat.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why put a sphere inside a drum?

The opal sphere hides the lamp and does the diffusing, which leaves the outer drum free to be clear or tinted without any glare. It also gives the fitting depth, since you are looking through one piece of glass at another.

Which tint reads strongest?

Cognac is the warmest and the most visible against a pale wall. Smoke gray is the quiet one and suits a room that already has strong colors, while the clear version almost disappears and leaves only the glowing sphere.

Is the bulb included?

An E26 or E27 LED comes fitted in the light color chosen at the order, so the pendant works the day it is wired. The socket is a standard screw base, so replacing it later is ordinary work.

Can several hang together?

A group of three, one in each tint, is how the maker photographs it and it suits a stairwell or a long table. Hang each from its own ceiling point and vary the heights so the spheres do not line up flat.

How low over a table?

Thirty to thirty six inches from the tabletop to the bottom of the drum, which keeps the sphere above the sight line across the table. The cord is cut at installation to suit your ceiling height.

Does the open drum collect dust?

Open at both ends, it collects less than a closed shade and wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. The frame inside takes a moment longer, which is the price of having the sphere suspended rather than resting on something.

Three Tints of the Same Fitting Are Made to Be Mixed Together in One Group

Buying three identical pendants is the safe move and it gives you a row. Taking one clear, one cognac and one smoke gray and hanging them at different heights gives a group that reads as a composition, because the shape repeats while the color does not. The spheres inside stay identical, which is what holds the arrangement together.
