This charming vintage yellow opaline petticoat ceiling pendant light is a striking example of mid-century lighting design, blending playful form with practical function. The shade features the classic petticoat shape, named for its soft, flared, frilled edge reminiscent of the undergarments popular in the early 20th century.

The opaline glass shade showcases a beautiful sunny yellow exterior, complemented by a crisp white interior that enhances light diffusion, casting a warm and inviting glow. Its gentle curves and fluted edges bring a touch of retro charm while maintaining timeless elegance.
Recently updated, this pendant includes a newly replaced nickel gallery and chain, offering both durability and a clean, modern contrast to the vintage glass. Perfect for kitchens, hallways, or any space in need of a pop of color and mid-century flair, this pendant light is as stylish today as it was decades ago.
