Set of 10 Antique Macbeth-Evans Schoolhouse Pendant Lights | 18" Shades

There is something extraordinary about repetition, particularly when it involves ten matching antique schoolhouse pendant lights.

Featuring substantial 18-inch white opal glass shades by Macbeth-Evans, these beautiful pendants combine the timeless appeal of early 20th-century schoolhouse lighting with a clean, architectural presence that feels entirely at home in contemporary interiors.

The generously proportioned glass shades have a distinctive flared profile, softly rounded base and beautiful luminous quality. Dark metal fittings and chains provide a handsome contrast to the white glass, giving the collection a subtle industrial character.

All ten shades bear Macbeth-Evans manufacturer's markings, including one with a partially surviving acid-etched logo. Macbeth-Evans was a prominent American glass manufacturer whose architectural lighting shades became a familiar feature of schools, institutional buildings and commercial interiors.

The metal fixtures have been cleaned and repainted, and the wiring has been replaced.

The strength of this collection lies in its scale. Ten matching antique pendants offer a rare opportunity to create a cohesive lighting installation across a substantial space. Consider them suspended above a long restaurant dining room, arranged throughout a boutique hotel, or illuminating a generous kitchen and adjoining living areas.

Beautiful individually, but remarkable together.

An Architectural Collection

Finding ten matching antique schoolhouse lights of this size is uncommon. Their consistency of form, generous proportions and original glass make this an especially appealing collection for architects, interior designers and homeowners working on substantial projects.

At Salvage Garden, we have long appreciated the impact of matching architectural elements used in repetition. A previous collection of antique schoolhouse pendants found its way into a remarkable Georgian Bay residence, where the lights became an integral part of a thoughtfully designed kitchen and great room.
