Retro spotted Czech pendants (V1)

Era: 1970s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

Beginning their journey in the heart of former Czechoslovakia’s Bohemian region, these vintage 1970s retro globes are part of an ancient legacy of glassmaking. Salvaged from a hotel lobby in Prague, the original spotted cut-glass globes and white Bakelite gallery are now sensitively restored and ready for their next chapter. Great for hotel lounges, lobbies, bedrooms and restaurants. Part of The Retreat Collection in collaboration with Dodds & Shute.

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

Every one of our lights goes through a variety of processes to bring it from the worn and often dilapidated state it arrives in, to a stage where it is ready for your home. From stripping down and rewiring, to applying a finish and sealing the light preventing further degradation to the surface.

A quick word from our customers

A piece of history

We found exactly what we wanted at skinflint: large industrial pendant lights from an old Dunlop Aerospace factory. They fill the space beautifully and we often get asked where they were sourced. With such heritage attached to them, they are like a piece of history that adds to the modern vintage feel we wanted to create.
