Vintage Dark Amber Glass Pendant Light With Brass Chain and Ceiling Rose By Johnsons Of Hendon

This is an absolutely gorgeous Vintage Dark Amber Glass Pendant Light With Brass Chain and Ceiling Rose By Johnsons Of Hendon: a well-known manufacturer of photographic equipment and accessories.

Although designed as a Monochromatic paper safelight for a photographic darkroom, it would produce lovely amber/red ambient light in a domestic setting: see image of the lamp in a home office, and of a bulb in the shade for an idea of what it might look like when lit.

Invented by Johnsons of Hendon, the glass was sold as the "Holborn Electric Light Cover for Dark Room Purposes". A clever design, the amber glass covers a standard electric light bulb to create a safelight for darkroom developing.

The fittings, comprising a Brass effect Chain and Ceiling Rose, may have been a later edition. 

• The dark amber safelight blown glass shade screws to the pendant holder and is in excellent condition with a few minor surface blemishes.
• It suspends from the original hook and chain via a matching ceiling rose also in brass coloured non-ferrous metal (probably aluminium).
• A B22 bayonet fitting light bulb is required and this is not included.
• It has been rewired with a vintage style braided cord but has not been electrically checked and will require a suitably qualified person to fit it.
