Set of Six Clear Ribbed Glass Shades with Bell Shape and Ruffled Rims c.1900
£1,800 / set
Set of six shades in glass, aligned to the Arts and Crafts movement (1880–1910), 1900. Clear ribbed bodies flare to ruffled rims, forming compact bell profiles suited to gallery-mounted pendants or wall lights. Even vertical ribbing provides soft prismatic diffusion, while the flared mouth reads as a gentle skirt. Colour is neutral, reading as clear glass. Forms are consistent across the set, appropriate for reinstating period fittings or completing a multi-arm chandelier. Within the Arts and Crafts lighting vocabulary the combination of ribbed bell shade and ruffled rim is a characteristic late-nineteenth-century motif in British work, balancing functional light control with modest ornament.
Diameter for the gallery or the lampshade hole: 5.5cm/2.17" Inches.
