The Ely is a classic schoolhouse light: an opal milk glass shade with a stepped profile, held below a vintage style lamp holder and a round ceiling plate. It brings the gentle, even light of an old English schoolroom into hallways, kitchens, landings and bedrooms.

The opal glass hides the bulb and spreads a soft, glare free glow. With a total drop of about 26 cm it sits close to the ceiling, so it suits the lower ceilings of cottages, terraces and new builds. Choose an antique brass finish for warmth, or black for a crisper look.

The glass shade is 22 cm across. It takes one E27 bulb, not included, and a warm white LED bulb is the best match for the milk glass. It is a hardwired fitting for standard UK mains.

Chosen for the finish

We choose each design for how its surface handles light: natural travertine, brushed brass, aged bronze or ribbed glass. The finish is part of the design, not an afterthought.

Built for real rooms

We design for homes that get lived in, not showrooms that get photographed. Warm, unobtrusive light. A scale that suits an ordinary ceiling. Finishes that age rather than wear out.

Frequently asked questions

Will it suit a low ceiling?

Yes. The whole light is about 26 cm from the ceiling to the bottom of the glass, so it sits much closer to the ceiling than a pendant and suits most UK ceiling heights.

Is a bulb included?

No. It takes one standard E27 bulb. A warm white LED bulb of around 2700K suits the milk glass best and keeps the shade cool.

Brass or black?

The antique brass finish warms up period hallways and kitchens. Black gives a crisper look against white walls and suits black door furniture and taps. The matching Ely wall light and Ely two light vanity light come in both finishes.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Every order ships free, with no minimum spend. Full detail is in our Shipping Policy.

Will I receive tracking information for my order?

Yes. As soon as your order ships we email your tracking number, and you can follow it any time on our Order Tracking Page.

What is your return policy timeframe?

You have 30 days from the day your order arrives. Full terms are in our Refund Policy.

Do I pay a restocking fee?

No. There are no restocking fees. See our Refund Policy.
