Eastern Bloc pendant lights

Era: 1950s

Industrial pendants salvaged from the former Eastern Bloc. Vitreous enameled shade and steel gallery with original black factory finish. Interesting surface patinas and slight localised wear adds character to the products. 

Restoration

Before a light can be restored, any damaged outdated components will require repair or replacing. As part of this work we replace original imperial screws with their modern-day metric counterparts and rework their screw ports to take them. We replace the original electrics with brand new, fully certified EN60598 components - this gives you peace of mind, knowing your vintage light is as safe to use as any modern light.

Product details

Supplied with new screw (E27) lamp holders, 2mtrs of suspension chain, elephant grey braided cable and ceiling mounting plate. Can be converted to E26 lamp holders (for use in USA) if required. Please state at point of order.

Just what I had been looking for

I was very happy with the products I received. They arrived quickly and were packed brilliantly and professionally. There was no way they were going to be damaged in transit.
