1950s Fawley Power Station pendants

Era: 1950s Origin: UK

Salvaged from the infamous Fawley Power Station, these Thorlux 1950s pendants spent over 50 years illuminating its boiler house. All original components remain preserved, including a striking vented enamelled shade and a polished aluminium gallery. Patina to the shade nods to a rich history and heritage. Great for downlighting over kitchen counters or above desks in office spaces.

£375.00 GBP

Origin: UK

Lighting design in the UK benefitted from a free market. Different companies were working at the same time, designing and producing similar products for the same market. Often with only slight differences in their style, they constantly upgraded and improved their original designs. The products we salvage come from the old industrial heartland of England. This area of the UK was once the boiler room of the British economy - from the potteries of Stoke, through the engineering works of Birmingham, to the wool, textile and cotton mills of Oldham and Manchester.

Manufacturer: Thorlux

Thorlux was founded by Frederick William Thorpe in 1936 in Small Heath, Birmingham. The company produced vitreous enamelled shades for lighting factories, workshops, mills and farm buildings during the progressive industrialisation of the 1930s through to the 1950s. Thorlux is still in existence over 75 years later, manufacturing a comprehensive range of professional lighting and control systems for architectural and industrial applications. The classic enamel shades from the 1950s with the distinctive Thorlux branding are one of our firm favourites.
