These elegant 1950s pendants began their journey in a school in former Czechoslovakia. A glass opaline globe gives an even glow of illumination when lit, contrasting against a silver cable suspended upper gallery. A great addition to circulation and lounge areas in homes as well as commercial projects.
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.

This ensures every light we reclaim lives on to tell its tale: from its original use, to how it came to be salvaged and restored. The next chapter of the story is up to you...
