Description from the seller

Original Glashütte Limburg ceiling light, model A493, from the 1960s. This version features a solid brass ceiling plate and a heavy dome of pressed structured glass. The glass has a multilayer, crystal-like structure that diffusely spreads the light, giving a warm and atmospheric glow. A typical high-quality mid-century design from West Germany.

The original model label A493 is present (see photo), confirming authenticity and collectible value. This type of Limburg lamps is known for its robust glass, cast brass, and timeless form.

Technical data:
• Model: A493
• Period: c. 1960–1969
• Fitting: 1x E27
• Country of origin: West Germany
• Material: Pressed structured glass & cast brass
• Condition: Very good – glass fully intact – works perfectly
• Type: Flush mount / ceiling light

Additional information:
I also have two smaller variants from the same series available. These have a single layer of structured glass (instead of the larger multi-layer dome) and are ideal for an entryway or hallway. (See the last photo).

Carefully and insuredly packed and shipped.
