Description
George Carwardine’s Original 1227 Brass Midi Wide Pendant Light adopts the same distinctive Anglepoise shade as the 1934 original. A refined addition to hallways, kitchen islands and living rooms alike, the pendant light is completed with a braided cable and coordinating ceiling rose. Position it in a cluster over counters or use it to light areas with a lower ceiling.
Our Stylist Says
The pendant in question offers a sleek, modern take on industrial style lighting, with its warm brass detail and sizeable, yet understated shade. I love how it elevates both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors, making it versatile for kitchens, dining areas, or even minimalist living rooms. When styling, consider hanging it over a dining table or kitchen island to create a focal point, and pair it with other brass or matte finishes for a cohesive look. For practical purposes, ensure the height is adjustable to avoid glare and optimise light distribution, and pair it with dimmable bulbs for added flexibility in creating ambience. It’s a reliable choice for anyone wanting stylish yet functional lighting.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
