Retro Czech ceiling light (golden V2)

Era: 1960s Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

A product of a long legacy of Bohemian glassmaking, these salvaged moulded glass lights were manufactured in former Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. A golden glass shade with an intricate geometric design casts a striking hue and effect when illuminated. Featuring a Bakelite base, they can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, and are perfect for creating big impact in small spaces such as hallways and bathrooms.

Equire about this product

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

In the mid 20th century, lights were designed with care and made to last. The work we do at skinflint is based on respecting and preserving the heritage of each piece. This ensures every light we reclaim lives on to tell its tale: from its original use, to how it came to be salvaged and restored. The next part of the story is up to you.

Each light is supplied with a new (G9) lamp holder. Suitable as a wall or ceiling fitting.
