Art Deco Skyscraper Pendant Light

Vintage Holophane / Skyscraper Pendant Light | Art Deco Industrial Ribbed Glass | 8.5" x 8"

This striking vintage pendant light showcases the iconic Holophane / Skyscraper-style design, a hallmark of early 20th-century Art Deco and industrial lighting. Featuring a beautifully ribbed prismatic glass shade paired with a frosted white (opal) lower section, this fixture offers both architectural character and highly functional illumination.

Popular from the 1930s through the 1960s, this style was widely used in factories, offices, schools, and public buildings, prized for its ability to diffuse light evenly while minimizing glare. The ribbed glass refracts light outward for broad illumination, while the frosted lower portion softens the glow—making it ideal for kitchens, dining areas, hallways, studios, or commercial-inspired interiors.

The pendant is fitted with metal mounting hardware, typically finished in black or brass, which complements the clean, utilitarian aesthetic. Today, these fixtures are highly sought after for industrial, Art Deco, mid-century modern, and loft-style spaces.
