Alderworth Medium 3 Light Tiffany Pendant - Flame

The Alderworth medium pendant in the flame colourway carries a 410mm Tiffany-style shade, the dragonfly motif set into leaded glass in warm amber tones. Cut pieces of glass are leaded into a metal frame, and the downward shape drops a defined pool of light while the amber glass glows at the sides and warms the whole room. Three E27 GLS bulbs up to 60W each sit inside, supplied separately. The drop adjusts from 470mm to 1360mm, and the fitting weighs 3.2kg in total.

Over a kitchen island, a breakfast bar or a small dining table this is a practical main ceiling light, and the long drop range means it also works in a hallway or down a stairwell. Amber glass gives the warmest light of the three colourways, so we suggest it where a room feels cold or where you use it mostly in the evening. Three lamps make it bright enough to light a modest room alone, and it is dimmable, so it can go from working light to a low glow.

The shade is assembled by hand from individual glass pieces, cut and leaded into the frame, which is why the pattern varies a little between shades. The gallery, chain and ceiling plate carry a warm finish that keeps the glass to the front. Dust with a dry soft cloth once the bulbs have cooled, and wipe marks with a barely damp cloth; keep sprays and solvents away from the leaded seams. It is IP20 for dry indoor rooms and a Class 1 fitting, so it needs an earth. A larger Alderworth pendant, an inverted version, table lamps and a floor lamp run in the same glass.

What does the flame glass look like?

Warm amber tones, reading as honey and orange unlit and throwing a notably warm light once on, with the dragonfly motif across the shade.

What is it made of?

Cut pieces of coloured glass, leaded by hand into a metal frame in the Tiffany-style method. The hand assembly means each shade differs slightly.

How low does it hang?

The drop adjusts from 470mm to 1360mm, with a 410mm shade. Over a table or island, allow around 750mm to 900mm between the surface and the base of the shade.

Which bulbs does it take?

Three E27 screw bulbs in a GLS shape, up to 60W each, not included. Warm white suits the amber glass, and matching all three keeps the light even.

How do I clean the glass?

A dry soft cloth or soft brush for dust, and a barely damp cloth for marks, dried at once. Avoid sprays, polish and solvents, which can dull the leading.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, with dimmable bulbs and a compatible switch. Use an LED-rated dimmer if you fit LED lamps.
