Old School Electric Gillespie Swan Arm Wall Light

The Gillespie Swan Arm Wall Light from Old School Electric is a beautifully refined interpretation of classic opal-glass lighting. Its elongated shade measuring 18.5cm high × 9.5cm diameter features subtle vertical fluting that creates soft texture and gentle light diffusion. The result is warm, ambient illumination ideal for spaces that call for quiet elegance and atmosphere.

Designed in the UK by Mark Holloway, the Gillespie shade is paired here with a sculptural swan-neck arm, projecting the light forward to create a graceful silhouette. The opal-glass shade diffuses the bulb evenly, making it particularly suited to reading corners, hallways, and bedrooms. Taking a standard E27 bulb, the light is also fully dimmable, helping to set the mood from bright clarity to a low evening glow. Available in eight distinctive finishes: Antique Brass, Light Antique Brass, Dark Bronze, Satin Brass, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Polished Chrome and Matt Black the Gillespie Swan Arm Wall Light can be easily coordinated with bathroom fittings, kitchen hardware or architectural detail.

The slim profile makes this design excellent for use in pairs: framing a mirror, flanking a headboard or punctuating a long hallway. Combined with the Gillespie pendants, it helps build a coherent lighting scheme throughout the home.
