Pembridge Lighting Collection

The Pembridge Collection pairs timeless proportions with softly pleated fabric shades, bringing warmth, texture, and a quietly luxurious feel to any space. Inspired by the historic Herefordshire village, this versatile range blends considered, decorative craftsmanship with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
More to come…

The Pembridge collection is named for one of Herefordshire’s prettiest villages, and it is one of our prettiest families: pleated-shade wall lights in single and double-arm forms, in solid brass, that bring a soft, tailored warmth to bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms.

The collection is designed and handmade in our Herefordshire workshop, as we have done since 1982: the Pembridge pleated wall light and the Pembridge double arm pleated wall light. The pleated shade is the heart of it: it softens the light into a gentle, flattering glow that bare bulbs and plain glass never manage, which is why it has never gone out of bedrooms.

Every piece is made to order, so finishes can be matched to your scheme. Pembridge lights work best in pairs, flanking a bed, a fireplace or a mirror, at around 1.6 to 1.8 metres from the floor. Tell us where they are going and we will help you place them honestly.

What is the Pembridge lighting collection?

The Pembridge collection is a Fritz Fryer family of pleated-shade wall lights, in single and double-arm forms, handmade to order in solid brass in our Herefordshire workshop. Named for one of Herefordshire’s prettiest villages, it brings soft, tailored warmth to bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms.

Where do Pembridge wall lights work best?

Pembridge pleated wall lights work best in pairs: flanking a bed, a fireplace or a mirror, mounted at 1.6 to 1.8 metres from the floor. The pleated shade gives a soft, flattering glow that suits bedrooms and sitting rooms especially, anywhere you want warmth over brightness.

What is a pleated shade good for?

A pleated shade softens light into a gentle, flattering glow and filters out glare, which is why it has never left bedrooms and sitting rooms. It suits classic and country interiors especially, and in brass it reads as tailored rather than fussy. Our Pembridge shades pair with solid brass arms, made to order.

Single or double arm: which Pembridge light do I need?

Match the arm count to the space: a single arm suits narrower flanks, beside a mirror or bed, while the double arm carries wider moments, over a console, flanking a fireplace, where more light and presence are wanted. Both are made to order in matching finishes, and we will advise from your wall’s dimensions.

Are Pembridge lights dimmable?

Yes. All Pembridge fittings take LED bulbs and dim normally with dimmable LEDs on a compatible dimmer, and a dimmed pleated shade is one of the softest lights a bedroom can have. We can recommend bulb and dimmer pairings for each piece.

Can Pembridge lights be matched to my other fittings?

Yes. Every piece is made to order in our Herefordshire workshop, so the brass finish can be matched to your other fittings and hardware. Many customers pair Pembridge wall lights with a chandelier or pendant from our other collections in the same finish.

Are Pembridge lights made in the UK?

Yes. Every piece in the Pembridge collection is designed and handmade in our workshop in Herefordshire, as we have done since 1982, in solid hand-spun brass with pleated shades, and wired and tested to current standards before dispatch.

How much do Pembridge lights cost?

Made-to-order Pembridge pieces are priced comparably with premium retail brands, with the double arm a little more. What you are buying is solid brass rather than plating, handmaking in Herefordshire, finishes matched to your scheme, and wall lights built to last decades rather than seasons.
