About the Item
Unearthed and meticulously restored, this elegant pendant light blends the spirit of mid-20th-century industrial design with refined domestic appeal—an ideal piece for collectors, design-savvy homeowners, and hospitality projects alike.
Hand-blown in a delicate teardrop form, the milky-white opaline glass shade exhibits a softly translucent, even glow. The subtle tapering of the drop shape enhances its vertical presence, lending a sculptural quality even when switched off. The shade sits within its original Bakelite cover and short stem hook-stanchion—materials and detailing that point directly to its era and provenance.
This pendant is part of the signature collection from Skinflint Lighting and is now exclusively certified by Loomlight, who have sourced, restored and rewired the work to meet contemporary British safety standards. The use of original Bakelite—a non-conductive, heat-resistant early-plastics innovation—reinforces its industrial early-20th-century lineage.
Specification Highlights
Width: 250 mm
Weight: approximately 1.2 kg
Lamp holder: E27/E26, IP20, use indoors only
LED-ready: supplied wired and ready for a 6W filament LED (2700K) for warm, ambient lighting
Fittings: Supplied with matching ceiling rose and hook, approx. 1 m chain and black braided cable as standard; alternate finish options available (brass/ aluminium) on request.
With its soft glow and understated silhouette, this pendant works beautifully across varied interiors: from contemporary kitchens and galley spaces, to hallways, stair-wells and boutique hospitality settings. The diffuse opaline glass produces an even, halo-like illumination rather than a harsh glare—ideal for areas where atmosphere is key.
Please note: this pendant is rated for indoor use only (IP20) and should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations. While the standard drop is approx. 1 metre, custom lengths can be specified—particularly useful for commercial or high-ceiling applications.
A refined mid-century industrial pendant that bridges museum-quality authenticity and everyday functionality. If you’re seeking a fixture with character, craftsmanship and longevity—this piece delivers.

1930s German Art Deco Opaline Pendant Light with Original Chrome Gallery
Located in Leicester, Leicestershire
These elegant Art Deco opaline glass pendant lights were manufactured in Germany in the 1930s, a period celebrated for its refined industrial design and the rise of modernist lighting across Europe. Salvaged from a pre-war public building in central Germany, each piece reflects the country’s reputation for meticulous glassmaking and precision metalwork during the interwar years.
The hand-blown opaline glass shade is classic to early 20th-century German design—an open-bottomed form that produces a beautifully soft, diffused glow while directing a gentle pool of light downward. Its smooth, double-layered form was engineered to provide even illumination in large communal interiors such as schools, civic halls and municipal offices.
Retaining its original chrome-plated gallery, the pendant shows the clean geometry and functional detailing typical of German Art Deco lighting...
