Description
Gisèle’s story
This acid-etched frosted glass bell shade was discovered one Sunday morning, while strolling through a Lisbon flea market. Between two dusty boxes, its finely chiselled floral motifs and characteristic arabesques were still gleaming — as if it had been waiting for that very moment.
We then carefully mounted it onto a gold brass ceiling rose and claw mount, in our Lisbon workshop. And so the Gisèle pendant light was born — a piece of precious charm, carrying within it all the elegance of early 20th century Art Nouveau.
How to use your Art Nouveau pendant light
The Gisèle pendant light fixes to the ceiling via its brass ceiling rose and 90 cm cord. It works beautifully above a bedside table, a dining table, or in a row along a corridor for a graphic and poetic effect. Need a different cord length? 9 options are available on request.
Good to know: Every lamp available on our online shop Alfama Chic has its own story. Sourced and assembled with care and passion, our shades sometimes bear the marks of time. Any minor imperfection is of course mentioned in the description.
