About the Item

Large 1950s opaline glass pendant lighting - these elegant mid-century pendant lights began their story in a school in former Czechoslovakia during the 1950s. Each features a hand-blown opaline glass shade suspended from a polished silver gallery and cable assembly, combining functionality with a quietly refined aesthetic. The opaline glass shade diffuses light evenly, creating a soft ambient glow ideal for circulation areas, lounges, and hospitality interiors. Originally designed for public buildings, these pendants now offer timeless versatility in both residential and commercial settings. Restored and rewired by Loomlight in the UK with CE-certified components, the lights are fully functional and ready for modern use while preserving their mid-century authenticity. Details Origin: Former Czechoslovakia, circa 1950s Materials: Opaline glass, polished silver gallery, braided cable Dimensions: Approx. 300 mm diameter × 300 mm height (variable drop) Lamp holder: E27 / E26 (LED compatible) Condition: Excellent restored vintage condition Likely manufactured by Osvětlovací Sklo Teplice or Lustry Kamenický Šenov — two renowned Czechoslovakian glassworks active during the mid-20th century and celebrated for their expertise in hand-blown opaline lighting. These factories supplied lighting for public buildings, schools and civic interiors throughout the Eastern Bloc, pairing locally produced glass shades with metal galleries from industrial manufacturers such as Napako in Prague. A beautiful example of Eastern European mid-century design — simple, functional, and enduringly elegant.

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...
