Description
The Alderworth pendant in beige is a three light ceiling light with a 410mm Tiffany-style shade in soft neutral leaded glass, hung the conventional way so the light falls downwards. The dragonfly motif is set out across the glass with the wings outstretched, drawn in slim leaded pieces against a cream and stone ground. The drop adjusts from 470mm to 1360mm, which is a wide range, and it takes three 60W E27 GLS bulbs, supplied separately. It is dimmable with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer.
A downward facing pendant puts the light where you want it, so this is the one to hang over a dining table, a kitchen island or a round hall table. The beige glass keeps things quiet in a room that already has pattern in the walls or the floor, while the leadwork gives the fitting enough definition to be worth looking at. The long adjustment range means it works over a table or high in a stairwell. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms.
The glass is cut and leaded piece by piece, then soldered into a metal frame with a metal gallery, chain and ceiling rose, so colour and seam lines differ slightly from one shade to the next. At 2.6kg it is straightforward to fix, and it is Class 1, so it needs an earth at the rose and a qualified electrician to connect it. Dust with a dry, soft cloth and use a barely damp cloth where marks need lifting, keeping sprays away from the solder. Blue and flame colourways and an inverted Alderworth pendant are also available.

Frequently Asked
How low will it hang?
The drop adjusts from 470mm to 1360mm. Over a dining table we would aim for roughly 750mm to 900mm between the tabletop and the base of the shade.
What is on the glass?
The dragonfly motif, with the wings outstretched and picked out in narrow leaded pieces against a beige and cream ground.
What size is the shade?
It is 410mm in diameter, and the whole fitting weighs 2.6kg.
Which bulbs does it need?
Three 60W E27 GLS bulbs, supplied separately. Dimmable bulbs plus a compatible dimmer will let you set the level.
How is it different from the inverted version?
This shade faces down, so the light is directed onto the surface below. The inverted one faces up and reflects light off the ceiling.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a dry, soft cloth and wipe marks with a barely damp cloth. Avoid sprays and abrasives around the solder lines.
