The wall light for rooms that have lived a little.
The Aldgate is named for a historic east-end ward — a quarter of brick warehouses, ironmongers' workshops and Victorian gas-lit alleys. Its silhouette is honest industrial: a curvy spun-metal dome shade in your choice of seven painted finishes, mounted on an aged green-brass swing arm with a slim black ceiling rose. The arm pivots through a full 180° so the light goes wherever you point it — over a hallway console, beside a reading chair, or as a directional task light above a kitchen worktop.
Where it works best
It pairs beautifully with a vintage Edison filament bulb. Lit, the dome glows like a Spitalfields shopfront at dusk; unlit, it reads as a quiet, considered piece of metalwork.

Styling & pairings
Hallways, snugs, principal bedrooms, either side of the bed, reading corners, kitchen worktops as a directional task light, and home offices over a desk. Each shade has a small triangular cone tip at its base, while the antique-brass arm and bulb holder remain consistent across all seven colours, making it easy to use a matched pair or mix finishes across a scheme.
