Antiquated Hanging Lights

The Authentic Cloth-Cord Pendants Bring Antique Back

Although I never knew they were referred to as Authentic Cloth-Cord Pendants, I actually have one of them hanging in the storage space under my stairs (a.k.a. Harry Potter's home for the first 11 years of his life).

I've always appreciated this light's vintage look and though we haven't used it in years, I have always known its worth. Now you can also appreciate the cultured look that these Authentic Cloth-Cord Pendants can lend to your home.
