The History of Cloth Cord Pendant Lighting

Before plastic insulation existed, every pendant light in America was wired with braided fabric cord. That simple material detail — cotton, silk, or rayon cloth cord — is what gives vintage pendant lighting its unmistakable period character. Today, cloth cord pendant lights are the first choice for farmhouse kitchens, industrial lofts, schoolhouse restorations, and Craftsman homes. Whether you're looking to buy a vintage pendant light, find a replacement cloth cord for a DIY project, or restore a period fixture to its original character, you'll find exactly what you need at Vintporium. Shop our full collection of authentic vintage pendant lighting at Vintporium.
