Antique Holophane Prismatic Pendant Light Original Gallery

Antique 1909 Holophane Prismatic Glass Pendant Light with Original Brass Gallery A genuine antique Holophane prismatic glass pendant light dating to 1909. The shade has a beautifully moulded prismatic form with an attractive frilled edge, giving it a more decorative appearance than many industrial Holophane fittings of the period. It retains its original brass gallery, which is stamped with the patent date 1909, and the glass shade is stamped Holophane to the rim, confirming the maker. Holophane lighting was designed to refract and distribute light through its distinctive prismatic glass, and original early examples are now highly sought after for both period and industrial interiors. This example would work beautifully in a kitchen, hallway, dining area or utility space, either hung individually or as part of a row above a kitchen island or table. The light is supplied with a new bulb holder and new 3-core twisted flex cable, ready for installation by a suitably qualified person.
