Description from the seller
Vintage ceiling light made of pressed glass – geometric relief – circa 1960s/1970s
A characterful vintage ceiling light with a heavy, clear glass shade and a striking geometric relief. The globe-shaped shade is completely built from diamond-shaped and pyramidal facets, which beautifully refract the light and create lively patterns on the walls and ceiling all around.
The thick shade is made of pressed glass and has the typical sculptural look of lighting from the 60s and 70s. The transparent glass combines excellently with the simple dark ceiling mount, making the design decorative as well as timeless.
When the lamp is lit, the many facets come vividly to life. The glass spreads a warm and atmospheric light, while the relief creates a splendid play of reflections. Thanks to its compact, low profile, this ceiling light is especially suitable for a hall, bedroom, landing, toilet, or a space with a lower ceiling.
