Vintage church wall lights (V1)

Era: 1950s

These vintage 1950s aluminium and brass wall lights were salvaged from St Barnabas church in Bethnal Green, East London. They were originally installed in 1957 and recently removed during a period of renovation.

 

Restoration

The elegant conical polished aluminium shade is mounted to the original polished brass arm and new wall mounting plate. A ball and knuckle joint allows the shade to be angled to focus the direction of light to a wall or object. At skinflint all original electrical elements are removed and replaced with brand new, certified components (EN60598 if your electrician asks). Any pre-wired lights are then rewired, tested and certified in line with electrical safety standards BS EN 60598. That way you have a light you can rely on every day, for decades to come.

A quick word from our customers

British Factory Light

I am very pleased with my purchase, it finishes off my dining room just perfectly.

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.

Commendable service

We have often purchased from skinflint and the fittings are exactly as depicted, delivered on time & with excellent customer service.
