Hungarian pendant lights with glass wells

Era: 1950s Origin: Hungary

Salvaged 1950s factory lighting from a Hungarian industrial site. A vitreous enamelled shade, featuring embossed manufacturer's markings, is complete with the original restored steel enclosure and glass well. The industrial heritage of these lights is emphasised by localised wear to the enamel shades.

Origin: Hungary

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.
