About the Item
These flush-mount lights were produced in 1960s Czechoslovakia and originally served in institutional and public settings — schools, hospitals, or civic buildings — a time when lighting production was largely overseen by state-controlled factories supplying standardized fixtures to Eastern Bloc interiors.
At their heart is a hand-crafted opaline glass globe, whose soft milky translucence diffuses light evenly to cast a warm, ambient glow. This style of glass — known across Europe as opaline or milk glass — was appreciated for its ability to produce gentle, glare-free illumination, while still being durable enough for daily institutional use.
The overall silhouette is minimal and utilitarian — a disciplined form shaped for function rather than flourish. Its compact proportions (approximately 155 mm in diameter) make it versatile: it can be mounted flush on a ceiling or as a wall fixture, blending seamlessly into hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, cafés, office corridors — any space that benefits from soft, unobtrusive light with mid-century character.
Fully restored and rewired with modern, CE-certified (or UL-listed) electrical components, this light is ready for everyday use with contemporary bulbs. The restoration respects and preserves the original craftsmanship — the glass shade, the original shape and mounting — while ensuring reliable functionality.
This fixture embodies subtle mid-century Eastern-European industrial design: imbued with history, quietly elegant, and perfectly suited to interiors that appreciate heritage, restraint, and gentle atmosphere.

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...
