Holophane glass pendant light fixtures and antique light globes are characterized by an alluring blend of Art Nouveau spirit and industrial–style illumination. These fixtures are fit for a king — Holophane glass products serve all manner of home interiors and were even used as supplemental lighting during coronation ceremonies in Westminster Abbey for both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
