The schoolhouse shade, kept exactly as it was.
A tiered opal glass dome held in an antique brass gallery, hung from a twisted fabric flex. Milk-white glass turns the LED into something soft enough to sit under all evening. Two sizes, and it mounts flush to the ceiling if you would rather not hang it.
- Milk opal glass: diffuses the light fully — no glare and no hot spot, whichever way you look at it.
- Antique brass gallery: visible slotted screws and an aged finish, the detail that separates a real schoolhouse shade from a copy.
- Pendant or flush: hang it on the flex over an island, or fit it tight to a low ceiling.
- Two diameters: 20 cm for a hallway or a pair over a bar, 30 cm as a single focal point.
Made for kitchen islands, breakfast bars and hallways with ceilings of 2.4 m or higher.

Opal glass, brass gallery
The schoolhouse shade, kept as it was
The Scholar takes its shape from the glass shades that once lit British classrooms and libraries: tiered milk-white glass held in a brass gallery by visible screws. It sits as naturally in a Victorian terrace as in a new kitchen extension.
-
Antique brass gallery
Visible slotted screws and an aged finish: the detail that sets a true schoolhouse fitting apart from a copy.
-
Light without glare
Milk opal glass diffuses the integrated LED fully, with no hot spot from any angle and no bulb to change.
-
Two sizes, pendant or flush
20 cm for hallways and pairs, 30 cm as a focal point. Hang it on the twisted flex, or fit it close to a lower ceiling.

Questions
How long will delivery take?
Delivery is free to every UK address. Allow 4–8 working days from your order; you’ll get a tracking link as soon as it’s dispatched.
Do I need an electrician?

A note from Selden Home
Chosen for British homes · contact@seldenhome.com
Dear reader,
Selden Home began with a problem most of us know: a room lit by one flat ceiling light, and nothing between the high street and the designer showroom to put it right.
So we choose every light for how it behaves once the evening draws in: the warmth of its glow, the glare, the pool it throws. Then we show it lit, in rooms like yours. If you are unsure about a size or a finish, send us a photo of your room and one of us will reply.
With warm regards,
From all of us at Selden Home
