Description
The Ashcroft brings a warm, characterful glow to any room with three ribbed glass shades held on gently curving arms. Finished in brushed aged brass, the metalwork carries a soft matt sheen that pairs the vintage feel of fluted glass with a cleaner, more modern frame. The semi-flush design keeps the fitting close to the ceiling, so it suits rooms where a full drop pendant would sit too low.
Each tulip-shaped shade is made from clear ribbed glass, which scatters the light into a gentle pattern while still letting the bulb show through. The three lamps face downwards and outwards, spreading illumination across a wider area than a single central fitting. It measures 495mm across and drops 300mm from the ceiling, making it a good fit for kitchens, dining rooms, hallways and living rooms with standard ceiling heights.
The aged brass finish works well alongside both warm wood tones and cooler greys, and the ribbed glass adds texture without being heavy. Fitted with warm-white lamps, the shades give off a soft, welcoming light that suits relaxed evening spaces as much as busier daytime rooms.

Frequently Asked
What type of glass are the shades made from?
The three tulip-shaped shades are clear ribbed, or fluted, glass. The vertical ribs scatter the light for a softer glow while still allowing the bulb to be seen.
Is this a flush or drop fitting?
It is a semi-flush ceiling light. It sits close to the ceiling with a short drop of around 300mm, which makes it suitable for rooms with lower or standard ceiling heights.
How do I clean the fitting?
Wipe the aged brass frame with a soft dry cloth. Clean the glass shades gently with a lightly damp cloth, making sure the power is off and the bulbs are cool first.
How many bulbs does it take?
It takes three bulbs, one for each shade. We recommend warm-white lamps to match the soft tone of the ribbed glass.
Which rooms suit this light?
Its 495mm width and downward-facing shades make it well suited to kitchens, dining rooms, hallways and living rooms where you want a spread of light rather than a single point.
