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

As part of our research investigating each light’s history, we visited Prague’s National Archive at the National Technical Museum, unearthing Franta Anyz’s greatest works. Using this material to guide our restoration processes, the light’s unique storied patina and hand-painted finish have been carefully preserved.

Product details

Each light is supplied tested and rewired with 4.no new screw (E14) lamp holders.

Manufacturer: Franta Anyz

Leading Czech metal artist Franta Anýž (1876-1934) was famed for elevating everyday objects to high art status. Lighting became a prominent part of his business from 1910 with a range spanning decorative pendants to medical lamps. Following WW1 it was one of the most important metalworking enterprises in former Czechoslovakia, casting Prague’s most famed monuments. Franta’s son carried the business through WW2. Nationalised in 1948 under communist rule it became ‘Art Production Plant ZUKOV’.
