Part of a large haul of striking miniature glass pendant lights salvaged from a civic building in Prague, former Czechoslovakia. Featuring an open-bottomed glass shade with prismatic detailing to the inner, and an opulent retro moulded design to the outer. Eye-catching feature pendants with or without the light on, suspended singularly or in clusters.
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)In the mid 20th century, lights were designed with care and made to last. The work we do at skinflint is based on respecting and preserving the heritage of each piece we salvage. This ensures that every light we reclaim lives on to tell its tale: from its original use, to how it came to be discovered and restored. The next chapter of the story is up to you.

What a great light - we're really happy with it! Delivery time was really quick too. Will be purchasing other lights from you in due course.

Lighting is critical to any room and when it came to putting the finishing touches to our vintage kitchen, we came to skinflint - and we found exactly what we wanted.

The lights definitely bring a sense of authentic character and history to the space. It's the truth when I say I had the lights before I even had final house plans!
