RARE FLAMEPROOF INDUSTRIAL PENDANT LIGHTPOLISHED FINISH WITH POLISHED BRASS DETAILINGHeyes & Company, Wigan – Circa 1950A highly engineered mid-century British flameproof pendant manufactured by Heyes & Company of Wigan circa 1950, professionally restored and finished in a mirror-polished industrial chrome with contrasting polished brass detailing.Originally designed for hazardous industrial environments, this fitting was engineered to contain internal ignition and prevent external atmospheric ignition — a level of technical over-specification rarely seen in contemporary lighting.The original cast markings remain visible to the underside rim, including:FLP 4640 GRPS I & IIThe thick glass enclosure retains the original BRAYMAT FLP mark, confirming its flameproof classification.This is authentic industrial engineering — reinterpreted with a refined architectural finish.FINISHThe cast body has been professionally polished to a high chrome-like finish, highlighting the sculptural form of the casting.Solid brass suspension pillars, nuts and detailing provide a subtle warmth and contrast against the cool polished body — softening the technical aesthetic and making the fitting highly suitable for:Luxury residential kitchensArchitectural loft conversionsBoutique hospitality schemesRestaurant and bar interiorsIndustrial-inspired contemporary spacesThe result is materially confident but visually refined.DESIGN PRESENCEWith a 12kg cast construction, this is a substantial architectural light.Unlike lightweight decorative reproductions, the mass and density are immediately apparent.
