Dainty retro 1960s glass pendant lights produced in former Czechoslovakia and salvaged from a civic building in Prague. The open-bottomed glass shade has prismatic detailing to the inside and a jewelled-effect moulded design to the outer. Eye-catching feature pendants with or without the lights turned on. Suspend asymmetrically in pairs or clusters for maximum effect.
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)Every one of our lights goes through a variety of restoration processes to bring it from the worn and often dilapidated state it arrives in, to a stage where it is refurbished and updated for modern-day use ready for your home. From stripping down and rewiring, to meticulously reviewing which components can be kept or replaced, we finish by sealing the light to prevent further degradation to the surface - securing their use for many more decades to come.
Supplied with a new screw (E14) lamp holder, 2mtrs of Brass braided cable and ceiling mounting plate. (If you would prefer another colour cable, or an E12 lamp holder for use in the USA, please just ask).

Great light. It looks very smart. I was initially worried that it might be slightly big for the room (we don't have high ceilings) but it looks great and I am really pleased with it.

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.

We adore skinflint lights. Thank you for our latest buy retro Czechoslovakian pendant (V2). We love it, as well as the 1950s Polish street light and industrial pendant lighting we bought from you. We hope you like how we have used them in our home.
