Bring an elegant look to your room with this flower-inspired pendant light by Laura Ashley. The dome-shaped glass shade has a lightly textured finish and a pretty scalloped rim. An antique brass ceiling rose and braided black-and-gold fabric cable complete the charming design
Our Stylist Says
The Laura Ashley vintage glass and metal pendant light is a lovely statement piece that adds a nostalgic yet timeless touch to any interior. I love its antique brass finish paired with the textured glass shade, which creates a warm, inviting glow. It works well in both traditional and modern spaces - think a cosy living room, a vintage-inspired kitchen, or even a chic hallway. For styling, I’d recommend hanging it at varying heights in a cluster for a more eclectic look, or keeping it as a standalone feature over a dining table or kitchen island. Pair it with other brass fixtures or soft neutral tones to really enhance its vintage charm and create a cohesive, elegant atmosphere.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
