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

Traditional Lantern Style with Period Character

Nightingale takes its cues from classic lantern design, encasing a single E27 lamp holder inside a bell shaped frame finished in black with gold accents. The seeded clear glass is dotted with tiny bubbles that catch and scatter light in a beautifully textured way, giving it the handmade quality you'd expect from a period porch light. It reads as traditional without feeling fussy or overly ornate.

Choosing Your Finish

The combination of black frame and gold detailing sits comfortably in both period schemes and contemporary homes with traditional touches. The seeded glass adds texture and visual interest, making this fitting a genuine design feature rather than just a light source. Similar designs are available across the range if you'd like to match it to your home's existing finishes.

How It Works

A single E27 lamp holder holds your choice of bulb—up to 20W maximum. You can pick any E27 bulb you prefer, whether that's a warm, bright or daylight colour temperature, and swap it out whenever you like. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, so an earth connection is needed during installation. The IP54 rating provides protection against water spray from any direction, so it's safe not just indoors but also in sheltered outdoor locations.

Where It Works Best

The IP54 rating means this fitting is equally at home in a bathroom (zones 1 and 2 where splashing is expected) or mounted outside on a porch, by a front door, or in a sheltered outdoor seating area. Indoors, the period styling and warm light it produces make it ideal for period homes, traditionally decorated hallways, bedrooms, or dining rooms. Our guide to bathroom lighting zones explains which indoor spaces are safe for bathroom rated fittings if you're considering it for a bathroom installation.

Design Details

The defining feature is the combination of form and texture. The bell shaped frame provides structure and a sense of period authenticity, while the seeded glass adds a layer of visual depth that a plain glass shade simply can't match. When lit, the bubbles in the glass catch the light and create a soft, diffused glow that contributes to the overall warmth of the fitting. This is the detail that separates a good period lantern from an ordinary one.
