Description from the seller

Gebrüder Kaiser Leuchten – Exclusive 3-piece Space Age lighting set – attributed to Richard Essig – Germany, circa 1970

Description
Beautiful and rare 3-piece lighting set from West Germany, manufactured by Gebrüder Kaiser Leuchten and attributed to the design language of Richard Essig, circa 1970.

The set consists of a pendant light and two matching table lamps, finished with characteristic dome-shaped shades made of heavy pressed glass. The glass spheres feature a richly textured crystal-like relief with matte oval accents, a design that strongly aligns with the Space Age aesthetics of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

When the lamps are lit, a particularly atmospheric play of light emerges, as the cut glass refracts the light in sparkling ways. The combination of transparent relief glass, satin oval shapes, and highly polished chrome fittings gives the set a luxurious and timeless appearance.

The lamps are in unusually good original condition:
- Glass fully intact, with no chips, cracks, or restorations.
- Chrome in very fine condition with minimal signs of use.
- Original parts present.
- Working, tested.
- Original manufacturer sticker present.
- Only light signs of aging on the suspension chain of the pendant lamp.

A particularly attractive and increasingly hard-to-find complete set, originating from the heyday of German design lighting. Due to the matching execution, this set is exceptionally suitable for a stylish vintage, mid-century, or Space Age interior.
