The glass pendant light has two specially designed bone china parts and a vintage glass shade. The light comes with white satin cable and a china ceiling rose. Standard length of pendant is 700mm from ceiling to base of shade. This can be made shorter or longer – up to 1000mm if specified.

This tea light holder takes its form from a traditional candle stick holder.

Pendant lighting is comparatively a baby in respect to other type of lights in the same category starting from the Huge Chandeliers. Actually if history is right, Pendant lights came into existence just as a useful substitute but a less detailed version of Chandeliers with almost same features and functionality. In fact it derived its name from pendant, a jewelry accessory. Its typical history dates back to 2700 B.C. It started with hanging lamps of clay with light given by an animal fat burn which was the way Greeks devised. As time past, clay lamps were replaced by Glass. In the 80s, European pendants began to appear with exclusive use of glass designs as pendants with attractive shades.
