Description from the seller

Rare Vintage Electrical Showroom Display Panel with 7 Porcelain Light Fixtures, Art Deco, ca. 1930s
In excellent condition – No reserve.

A rare and highly decorative vintage electrical showroom display panel featuring seven distinctive porcelain light fixtures, presented on an elegant forest-green board with a warm brass-toned wooden frame.

Originally intended as a display piece for an electrical shop or showroom, this exceptional panel showcases seven different designs of ceramic and porcelain lamp holders, each with its own sculptural shape and decorative character. The collection includes geometric Art Deco forms, elegant fluted bases, scalloped profiles and a striking circular fixture with intricate ornamental detailing.

The glossy white porcelain is beautifully complemented by gold-coloured accents, subtle green decoration and chrome-effect mirror bulbs. Mounted in a long, framed panel, the seven fixtures form an impressive decorative composition that combines early electrical design with the visual appeal of a vintage industrial display.

The rich green background and warm-toned frame create a striking contrast with the white porcelain, making this piece a true eye-catcher for collectors of vintage lighting, architectural salvage, industrial design and unusual decorative objects.

Showroom display panels of this kind are considerably less common than individual vintage light fittings. This example offers the additional appeal of presenting seven different designs together in one cohesive installation.

The panel is supplied with seven new LED mirror bulbs and the brass mounting screws.

Historical Context
During the first half of the twentieth century, decorative porcelain was widely used for electrical fittings because of its insulating properties, durability and attractive finish. Manufacturers produced an extensive variety of shapes and ornamental details, ranging from restrained geometric Art Deco designs to more elaborate decorative forms. Electrical showroom displays allowed customers to compare these designs before choosing fittings for their homes or commercial interiors. This panel preserves the spirit of that retail tradition and presents a fascinating snapshot of vintage European electrical design.
