Fabula Nightingale Single Pendant - Black/Gold & Seeded Clear Glass - IP54

Black and Gold Frame with Seeded Glass Bell Shade

Nightingale pairs a black and gold finished frame with a seeded clear glass shade shaped like a bell, creating a pendant that sits somewhere between a porch light and a statement piece. The seeded texture in the glass gives it a subtle, slightly rustic character, while the black and gold frame brings contrast and warmth to what would otherwise be a fairly classic shape.

Choosing Your Finish

The combination of black with gold accents is striking without feeling heavy. It works well in both traditional and contemporary spaces, bringing a touch of warmth to rooms where black metalwork might otherwise feel too austere on its own.

How It Works

A single E27 lamp holder sits within the shade, accepting bulbs up to 20W maximum. The black and gold finish carries Class I electrical rating, requiring an earth connection. If you use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer, the pendant can be dimmed for variable light levels. The IP54 rating makes it protected against splashing water, so it is suitable for covered outdoor areas as well as indoors.

Where It Works Best

Outside, this pendant suits covered porches and entrance areas where it can take the occasional splash from rain. Indoors, it works in hallways, dining rooms, bedrooms and living spaces as an alternative to a traditional ceiling pendant. Its IP54 rating also means it is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it can be mounted near mirrors or above vanity units. For more information on bathroom lighting zones, see our guide to bathroom lighting zones.

Design Details

The seeded glass gives the shade a handmade quality, with a soft texture that diffuses light gently. The black and gold coating on the frame is what distinguishes this pendant from similar lantern style shades. It is a detail that reads as confidence in design, not an attempt to add unnecessary decoration.
