Stunning 1960s extra large pendants from Czechoslovakia. These simple and stylish lights have a matt opal glass, with an open-bottom, perfect for over a kitchen island or in a living space. They give an even glow when illuminated with an element of downward light.
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. Every light we reclaim has two tales to tell - its original use, and how it came to be salvaged. We’ll let you know its history but the next chapter is up to you.
Each light is supplied with a new screw (E27) lamp holder, 2mtrs of traditional twisted silver braided cable and a ceiling mounting plate. (If you would prefer another colour cable please let us know)
