Engraved Glass Hundi Lantern With Single Fitting
Harkening back to the simpler times of the 19th century, our glass handi pendant lantern radiate light through your home. These glass lamps are known in India as Handis or Hundis - originally named after a cooking pot. Originally made in Europe and exported to India as lighting for large homes and palaces in the 19th century candles or oil lamps would have been placed inside with a glass lid to prevent soot from marking the ceiling. Many survived on the tall ceilings unlike their European counterparts which were taken down and smashed when electricity arrived. Each piece is skilfully blown by hand in India and wired & tested by our team in the UK.
*Please note glass may have small imperfections*
If you require a longer chain or flex or would like to customise a handi light, please contact us.
