In the early twentieth century, the northern French city of Lille was among the first to illuminate its streets using newly engineered convex lenses. Our Belmont pendant translates these storied vintage lamps into stylish domestic settings. We join the polished prismatic glass to a sturdy metal body with custom knobbed fasteners, creating the pendant’s memorable gourd figure that has endured for over 100 years.
