About the Item

This striking 1950's cantilever wall lamp hails from an industrial site in Czechoslovakia, manufactured by Elektrosvit. The robust steel arms and swivelling aluminium shade speak to its utilitarian origins — built for function, yet dignified by time. The lamp’s adjustable cantilever structure offers full versatility: the arm moves laterally via lockable joints, and both the wall-mounted base and shade rotate. The tilting shade allows you to direct light exactly where needed — ideal for a workbench, bedside reading, or illuminating a hallway. Electrically restored with modern components and safety standards, the lamp is ready for contemporary use. It accepts a standard E27/E26 bulb, making it easily adaptable for LED or incandescent lighting. With the patina and wear accumulated over decades of industrial life, each cantilever wall lamp carries its own narrative — offering a tangible link to its working-class beginning. A perfect statement piece for interiors that celebrate rugged history and functional beauty.
