Vintage Czech glass wall lights (V3)

A large run of unusual 1960s glass wall lights from the former Eastern Bloc. These lights were originally installed throughout the circulation areas of residential buildings within the former Czechoslovakia.

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.
