Old School Electric Gatsby Pendant Light - Polished Brass

The Gatsby Pendant from Old School Electric is a quietly sculptural design that blends angular geometry with soft, opalescent light. Featuring a distinctive six-sided glass shade, 15cm high × 10.1cm diameter, this piece introduces subtle structure and visual interest without overwhelming a space. Its clean planes and gently tapered form add a contemporary edge to a classic silhouette, creating a pendant that feels refined, understated and beautifully balanced.

Designed in the UK by Mark Holloway, the Gatsby Pendant is suspended from a 1m fabric-twisted cable, complemented by a matching ceiling rose for a cohesive finish. The opal-glass surface diffuses light evenly, offering flattering illumination ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Perfect when used individually to highlight a reading corner or bedside table, the pendant becomes especially striking in pairs or trios above kitchen islands or countertops.

The Gatsby Pendant is available in eight finishes; Antique Brass, Light Antique Brass, Dark Bronze, Satin Brass, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Polished Chrome and Matt Black, allowing it to harmonise with mixed-metal interiors or provide a clean contrast against architectural details. Taking a standard E27 bulb, the pendant is fully dimmable, enabling precise atmosphere control.

Used as part of a larger scheme, the Gatsby Pendant can be paired with tonal wall lighting to build a cohesive architectural rhythm throughout the home. Its compact scale and unique geometry make it a beautifully versatile addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
