Price History
Description
This wall light is an elegant way to brighten your space. Behind the clear reeded glass shade, an internal diffuser holds the bulb to ensure a soft, gentle glow. The fixture has a refined metallic finish and is safe for bathroom use.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this wall light; the antique brass finish adds a warm, vintage touch that works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors. Its reeded glass shade offers a nice diffusion of light, creating a soft, inviting glow - perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, or even hallway areas. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral or muted colour schemes to let the brass and glass stand out, or combine with other metallic accents for a cohesive look. For practical tips, install it at eye level beside a mirror or artwork to enhance the space without overpowering it, and consider using warm LED bulbs to complement the brass finish and create a cosy 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.
