Period hallway lighting

Era: 1950s

Vintage 1950s period hallway ceiling lights. The opaline glass globe diffuses the light, resulting in an even glow and distribution of light when lit. The original copper gallery has been refurbished and polished by hand.

Restoration

The final step of the restoration process of each light is reassembly. All of the components, both new and refurbished, are meticulously pieced together in our workshops. Each light is then photographed and added to our collection alongside information about its origins and history we’ve discovered through our research. What happens next is up to you.
