Retro cut glass Czech chandelier

Era: 1970s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

A stylish copper ceiling light made in the 1960s in former Czechoslovakia. Comprising five cut-glass, open-topped shades and a copper/chrome plated baluster and rod, the light has a beautifully aged patina in line with its age. With contrasting glass, copper and chrome detailing, this makes for a striking centerpiece for any room.

Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

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.

Restoration

Once a light has undergone preparatory treatment and the degraded surface has been removed, the path is clear for us to bring it back to life. At skinflint we tend not to repaint surfaces, this would make the lights look too ‘new’ and they’d lose some of their individuality. These historical British timepieces have been restored and polished, retaining their character.
