A large run of stylish brushed brass ceiling lights salvaged from a theatre in former Czechoslovakia. Featuring the original prismatic lens, the vented aluminium enclosures cast an interesting pattern when illuminated. An ideal feature piece when installed in rows, perfect for hallway or restaurant interiors.
As featured in the Disney+ TV series 'Pistols'.
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.
View all lights from Czechoslovakia (former)The restoration process our lighting goes through can take many months. To begin, we gently disassemble each light fitting, letting us spot any flaws and plan how best to bring it up to modern electrical standards. Then, our team of experts patiently restore each component by hand. Typically, this might mean: Soda-blasting – an environmentally friendly way to remove old paint; Polishing – to restore and revitalise the surface of the light; Lacquering – a sealing process that protects the light’s surface from further deterioration; Rewiring – so the light works perfectly, every time.
Did you know that our vintage lights regularly star in feature films such as Mission Impossible and hit TV series such as Warner Bros’ Pennyworth? This particular light was used in Danny Boyle's TV series Pistols on Disney+. You can explore other collector’s pieces from the big screen in our vintage prop lighting collection.
