A large run of simple opaline globe pendants salvaged from Prague, featuring the original hand blown opaline glass globes and brown Bakelite galleries. Sensitively restored to simple cable-suspended pendant lights. Creating an even glow and distribution of light when illuminated.
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)Over the years, we’ve restored thousands of lights that would otherwise have been lost forever scrap - examining, refurbishing and updating one part at a time. But we don’t only piece together the light’s components. We take the time to investigate its history, studying old catalogues for clues and assembling the whole story.
Supplied with a new screw (E27) lamp holder, 2mtrs of brown braided cable and ceiling mounting plate. (If you would prefer another colour cable, or an E26 lamp holder for use in the USA, please just ask).
