Description
The Masthead is a 351mm wall light with a cylindrical clear glass shade held within a brass cage frame, finished in heritage brass with black metalwork at the top and bottom caps. The glass cylinder houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately), allowing the filament to be fully visible through the clear glass while the brass cage bars cast shadow lines when the bulb is lit.
Designed for bathroom zone 2, hallways, porches and covered outdoor areas, the Masthead carries an IP44 rating for protection against water splashes from any direction. The 128mm projection from the wall suits positions where a light needs to sit clear of door swings or mirror edges, while the 122mm width keeps the fitting compact enough for narrower wall spaces. The E27 socket accepts bulbs up to 40W, typically paired with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W for decorative lighting or a higher-output bulb for task lighting in bathrooms.
The heritage brass finish on the cage frame has a warm, slightly aged tone that sits between polished brass and antique brass, pairing well with both traditional and transitional interiors. The black metal caps at the top and bottom of the cylinder anchor the design and provide visual weight against the lighter brass cage. The clear glass allows full visibility of the bulb, so the choice of bulb type (vintage filament, globe, candle) changes the character of the light when viewed from the room.

Frequently Asked
Can this be used in a bathroom?
Yes. The IP44 rating provides protection against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for bathroom zone 2. It should not be positioned directly above a bath or shower (zone 1) or within the immediate shower enclosure (zone 0).
What bulb does it take?
The Masthead takes a standard E27 bulb up to 40W, sold separately. Most installations pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W for decorative lighting. The clear glass cylinder makes the bulb fully visible, so vintage Edison-style or decorative globe bulbs work well.
How far does it project from the wall?
The fitting projects 128mm from the wall once installed, allowing it to sit clear of door swings, mirror edges or other wall-mounted fixtures in hallways and bathrooms.
What's the difference between heritage brass and polished brass?
Heritage brass has a warmer, slightly aged tone with a lower sheen than polished brass. It sits between the high-gloss yellow of polished brass and the darker patina of antique brass, giving a lived-in finish that pairs with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
