Fabula Tamworth Single Pendant - Round Open Mouth Shade - French Gold & Smoked Glass

An Open Mouth Flare with Warm Glass

This Tamworth pendant takes the cylinder concept and opens it out at the base, creating a flare that lets light spill downward more generously. The smoked glass darkens the tone of the light while the French Gold finish brings warmth to the metalwork, combining for a pendant that's both sculptural and intimate.

Choosing Your Finish

The French Gold finish on the metalwork pairs beautifully with smoked glass, which absorbs and filters the light rather than transmitting it bright and clear. The open mouth shape means more light escapes at the base, so despite the dark glass, the ambient light in the room is still generous. This combination is available in other finishes across the range if you prefer a different colour pairing.

How It Works

A single G9 lamp holder sits inside the shade, mounted so the light travels through the smoked glass and then out through the open base. The flared shape means light spreads more widely than it would from a straight cylinder. Class I wiring requires an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating confines this pendant to dry indoor areas only.

Where It Works Best

The open mouth design and flared silhouette make this pendant work well as a visual feature in its own right, so it earns its place above a kitchen island or dining table. The warm smoked light it casts suits rooms where you want atmosphere rather than purely functional brightness. It also pairs nicely with other pendants in the Tamworth range if you want to group them.

Design Details

The appeal of the open mouth shape is partly practical and partly visual. Practically, it lets light spread more naturally than a closed cylinder would. Visually, it's a more interesting silhouette, with a sense of movement that a straight shape lacks. Combined with smoked glass, which has genuine depth and colour, the pendant reads as a considered design choice rather than a generic light fixture.

Questions People Ask

How is the open mouth shade different from the closed cylinders?
The open base lets light spill out at the bottom rather than being contained within the shade, so you get more generous light spread and a more sculptural silhouette. It's also more forgiving if you don't want the bulb hidden.

Will the smoked glass be too dark?
The open mouth design compensates for the dark glass by letting light escape the base, so the room gets plenty of ambient light despite the tinted glass. It's more about warmth and mood than dimming the space.

Is this suitable for bathrooms?
No, the IP20 rating means it's only for dry indoor spaces. The smoked glass and French Gold would be lovely there conceptually, but moisture would damage the fitting.
