An original French rise & fall ceiling light, a beautiful piece of period lighting dating which we have re-wired and restored with a pleated opaline milk glass coolie shade dating from the early 20th century. The porcelain counterweight allows the shade to be raised and lowered easily, and these lights were often found over parlour tables in old French houses. Retracted, the light measures approx 68cm from the rose to the bottom of the shade. Fully extended, the light descends down to approx 1.38cm, but you can alter this if you decide to extend or cut the flex. The shade measures approx 22cm diameter. The counterweight is filled with its original lead shot. The bulbholder is ceramic and takes a bayonet bulb. Customers in the US & Canada: please ask us about bayonet bulbs.
