1970s Czech ceiling lights (square V2)

Era: 1970s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

1970s surface-mounted lights salvaged from former Czechoslovakia. Featuring a distinctive and decorative moulded square-glass shade which casts a striking patterned effect when illuminated. An elegant low profile makes these lights suitable for wall or ceiling mounting, particularly in areas short on space.

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

Over the years, we’ve restored thousands of lights that would otherwise have been lost forever - meticulously examining, refurbishing and updating one part at a time. But we don’t only piece together the light’s components, we also take the time to investigate its history, studying our archive of old manufacturer’s catalogues for clues to assemble the whole story.

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.
