Alderley 2 Light Tiffany Pendant - Vintage Bronze

The Alderley is a 380mm Tiffany-style pendant light built from handcrafted stained glass panels set into a vintage bronze metal frame, suspended on a vintage bronze chain. The shade is a shallow pyramid of clear, blue and amber glass sections arranged in a geometric art deco pattern, with two E27 bulb fittings inside the shade casting light through the coloured glass and out into the room.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and hallways with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Alderley provides ambient decorative light rather than focused task light. The 1500mm chain is adjustable on installation, allowing the pendant to hang 600-900mm above a surface depending on ceiling height and room proportion. The blue glass sections shift to an aqua tone when backlit, while the textured clear glass adds a prismatic sparkle. The vintage bronze finish on the frame and canopy pairs with warm-toned woods, brass hardware and traditional or transitional interiors.

Each shade is assembled by hand, so the exact positioning of the glass sections and the depth of colour in the blue and amber panels varies slightly between individual pieces. The 380mm diameter and 183mm shade height suit rooms with floor areas of 12-20m² without overwhelming smaller spaces. The two E27 fittings allow for independent bulb choice — warm-white LEDs between 6-10W and 2700K give soft ambient light, while higher-wattage filament bulbs up to 60W increase brightness and add visible filament character through the clear glass sections.

Product Specification Sheet

What bulbs does the Alderley take?

The pendant takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient light, though higher-wattage filament bulbs add visible character through the clear glass sections.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 1500mm chain is adjustable on installation. For a dining table or kitchen island the pendant typically sits 700-800mm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The minimum drop of 328mm suits lower ceilings if the chain is shortened during fitting.

Does the glass colour vary between pieces?

Yes. Each shade is assembled by hand from stained glass, so the exact positioning of the blue and amber sections and the depth of colour varies slightly between individual pendants. The blue glass shifts to an aqua tone when backlit.

Is the Alderley suitable for dimming?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs you choose. LED bulbs marked as 'dimmable' work with most trailing-edge dimmers. Incandescent or halogen bulbs up to 60W dim easily with standard rotary or slide dimmers.
