Talbot 1 Pendant Light - Dark Grey

The Talbot 1 is a single pendant light with a tulip-shaped steel shade, pierced and embossed all over with a fine pattern and finished in a weathered dark grey. The shade flares out at the bottom into soft petal points, and it hangs from a matching ceiling rose on a twisted flex. It measures 110cm tall overall and 16.5cm across, so it reads as a slim, upright shape. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 60W, and the bulb is not included, which leaves the choice of warm or cool light to you. With an IP20 rating it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry.

Because the shade is narrow, it suits places where a broad pendant would crowd the space: over a side table, beside a reading chair, in a hallway or above a kitchen island, hung in a row of two or three. The pierced pattern lets tiny points of light through the steel, so the shade itself becomes part of the decoration whenever the bulb is lit. The dark grey sits happily alongside soft greens, natural wood and creamy textiles, and it gives a rustic or vintage scheme a well-worn, lived-in feel without looking heavy. It is a good choice for anyone who wants character overhead without a large shade dominating the room.

There is no switch on the light itself; it is switched at the wall, so it works from the light switch you already have. It runs on 220-240V at 50/60Hz, and as a light wired into the ceiling it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and packed it weighs 0.62KG. Before you buy, check the bulb you have in mind is an E27 fitting rated no higher than 60W, and choose a warm white if you want the pattern to glow softly through the evening.

Can the Talbot 1 go in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry, so we suggest a living room, bedroom, hallway or dining area instead.

Does it come with a bulb?

The bulb is not included. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 60W, so you can pick the colour of light and brightness that suits the room.

How big is the pendant?

It is 110cm tall overall and 16.5cm across, a slim size that works well hung singly or in a row of two or three.

What finish does it have?

The shade is finished in a weathered dark grey, with a pierced and embossed pattern and a scalloped, petal-shaped lower edge that catches the eye.

How is the light switched?

There is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so it works from the room's existing light switch.

Which material is the body?

The body is steel, finished in a weathered dark grey with an embossed pattern and small piercings across the whole shade.
