Compass House
Authentic 19th-Century Salvaged Lighting, Hand-Restored & Ready to Install
Discover a characterful statement lighting piece that blends history, durability and industrial charm. This reclaimed authentic bulkhead-style pendant we believe is mid 20th Century and originally manufactured in Europe. We believe it began life in a maritime or heavy industrial environment and has been meticulously converted and certified for safe use in homes, studios, restaurants or showrooms. With a robust design, substantial weight and architectural presence, it's ideal for spaces that favour bold, tactile design. This pendant light works beautifully in many contexts. Above a kitchen island, breakfast bar or dining table especially in loft / industrial / warehouse conversions. Would look equally resplendent in a restaurant, café restaurant or bar to evoke a nautical / industrial atmosphere.
Construction & Features
Heavy gauge metal construction the body and shade are made of thick, solid metal (steel or similar), offering long life and industrial appeal. Clamp / wing-bolt access on the lower rim — originally designed for ease of maintenance, bulb change or internal access. Marine-grade stainless chain and D-shackles allow a ceiling drop, giving flexibility in pendant height and maintaining the industrial aesthetics. The bespoke handmade ceiling rose with industrial strength support structures is included.
Mounting:
The fitting has four supporting points within the ceiling bracket provided as part of the ceiling rose assembly. The fitting is supported by the marine grade eye bold secured into the fixing plate.
