A run of vintage 1950s factory light pendants salvaged from a Hungarian industrial site. Comprising an oxidised and sealed steel enclosure, the original glass well and white enamelled steel shade with contrasting metallic rim detailing.
We salvage high volumes of industrial and decorative lighting from this landlocked former Eastern Bloc country. Hungarian industrial enamel shades are often available in blue or white, whereas the decorative glassware has more of a clean line and timeless design. In the mid to late 20th century, the Communist east produced a wide variety of lights for both industrial, commercial and residential applications often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage.
View all lights from HungaryEach original vintage light in our oxide collection has been restored to ensure their authentic heritage and deep russet tones shine on. The lights feature an interesting array of rich patinas, with surfaces and specially-treated steel or iron enclosures sealed in our workshop to prevent further ageing.
Each light is supplied with a new screw (E27) lamp holder, 2mtrs of suspension chain, elephant grey braided cable and ceiling mounting plate. (If you would prefer another colour cable, wire suspension or an E26 lamp holder for use in the USA, please just ask).
