About the Item
Manufactured in Czechoslovakia during the 1970s, these striking pendant lights originate from the communist-era period of Eastern European industrial design. Originally installed in a railway departure lounge in Prague, they reflect the era’s emphasis on durability, precision, and quietly expressive form.
Each fixture features a pair of cut-glass prismatic shades set within a rectangular metal housing. When illuminated, the faceted glass softly diffuses the light while maintaining a bright, functional output, creating a balanced and atmospheric glow. The prismatic texture enhances light dispersion, lending both visual depth and practical performance.
The cuboid fixtures have been carefully salvaged and sensitively restored, with original finishes and components preserved wherever possible to honour their Cold War–era character, while ensuring they meet contemporary electrical standards.
Professionally re-wired in-house using CE-approved components to exceed British Standards. UL-listed components are available for orders to the United States. Reclaimed, restored, and ready for installation, these lights offer a distinctive blend of mid-century modern design and industrial heritage.

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...
