1960s Czech hotel lighting (V2)

Era: 1960s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

Salvaged from a hotel lobby in former Czechoslovakia this chandelier has a classic 1960s styling. Sensitively restored by our team, we have been able to retain all of the original features including the copper-plated galleries, stems and painted balusters. The two open-bottomed moulded glass shades create a beautiful effect when illuminated.

Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

Much of the lighting we salvage and restore from the former Eastern Bloc was produced in the manufacturing powerhouses of former Czechoslovakia. Under Communist rule the same design was often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage. The country is also famed for its beautiful glassware, with both wall and ceiling opaline glass lights often being used in public and residential settings, such as housing blocks and schools.
