XL retro glass Czech pendants

Era: 1960s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

XL opaline glass pendant lights salvaged from a hotel lobby in Prague. With a curved profile and open-bottomed design, the elegant style and design of these lights makes them real statement pendants for any circulation, living or kitchen area.

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

Opaline glass provides an even glow when illuminated while the open underside will allow an enhanced downward light from the pendants. Fitted with the original white steel gallery with chrome detailing, the lights are suspended through a minimal stainless steel suspension wire.

Product details

Each light is supplied with a new screw (E27) lamp holder, 2mtrs of suspension wire, traditional silver twisted 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).

A quick word from our customers

Beautiful Light! 

I toyed with this light for ages before I bought it, thinking it was a lot of money. When I eventually ordered and received the light, I was not disappointed. I love this light, so heavy, chunky and in my eyes, gorgeous. It will look brilliant in my dining room, in my newly renovated farmhouse.

A real gem!

What a great little product, saves masses of time and cost rewiring. Will be back for more!

Versatile light

Great light. It looks very smart. I was initially worried that it might be slightly big for the room (we don't have high ceilings) but it looks great and I am really pleased with it.
