Fabula Althorne Single Pendant - 35cm Tiffany Shade - Grey

Grey Tiffany Glass Casting Light Upward

Althorne is a traditional Tiffany design that breaks with convention by facing upward, so light bounces softly off the ceiling rather than shining downward. The grey glasswork gives it a cooler, more understated personality than warmer Tiffany colourways, yet it retains the same handcrafted leaded pattern that makes Tiffany shades distinctive.

Choosing Your Finish

The grey tonality suits contemporary rooms particularly well, while also working in traditional spaces where cool greys feel appropriate. The leaded pattern remains consistent across the range, but each variant uses different glass colours. If grey does not fit your scheme, other shades with different hues are available.

How It Works

A single E27 lamp holder sits at the base of the shade, accepting bulbs up to 60W maximum. The bulb sits hidden within the shade, so the light you see comes from it bouncing off the ceiling. Class I wiring throughout, requiring an earth connection. Dimmable if fitted with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.

Where It Works Best

This pendant is ideal when you want ambient light without glare. Hung in a dining room, it creates a soft glow across the table. In a living room or bedroom, it provides general room lighting with a gentle quality. The upward facing design suits any room where you want decorative lighting rather than direct task illumination. It is intended for dry indoor spaces only.

Design Details

The value of a Tiffany pendant lies in its handmade construction. Individual glass pieces are cut and fitted into the overall shape, then held in place by lead came. The grey glass here has a quiet elegance that comes from the quality of the materials and the skill required to assemble them, rather than from bright colour or elaborate pattern.

Questions People Ask

Why does the light face upward?
It is an uplighter design, so the bulb casts light onto the ceiling which then bounces back down. This creates softer, more diffused lighting than a downward-facing pendant would give.

Will this provide enough light for a dining table?
It provides ambient light rather than task lighting. For a dining table, you might want to combine it with additional lighting, or consider a downward facing pendant if you need brighter direct light.

Is fitting an electrician required?
Yes, we recommend a qualified electrician installs this to ensure the Class I wiring is correctly and safely fitted.
