£115
Price History
Description
The Mortimer Prismatic Glass Globe Pendant brings a refined industrial character to classic interiors. Inspired by traditional diner lighting, the ribbed prismatic glass shade softly diffuses the light while creating subtle texture and visual interest. Finished with bronze-effect metal and knurled detailing, it balances vintage influence with contemporary craftsmanship. Perfect hung in pairs or threes above a kitchen island, or used individually in hallways and dining spaces for warm, ambient lighting.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal’s Mortimer Prismatic Globe Pendant is a versatile piece that offers both a vintage-inspired charm and modern appeal. I love how its clear, ribbed glass design brings texture and visual interest without overwhelming a space. It works particularly well in mid-century or contemporary interiors, adding a touch of character over kitchen islands, dining tables or in cosy living nooks. For styling, consider pairing it with warm filament bulbs for a cosy glow or modern LED options for energy efficiency. It’s great when hung at different heights in a cluster for a layered lighting effect or singularly as a statement piece. Keep surroundings simple to let the globe be the focus, or mix with other textured materials like brass or wood for a cohesive, eclectic look.

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.
