This vintage light, by quality German manufacturer Hillebrand, was designed to work as either a ceiling or large wall light.
While this light is from the 1970`s, with the Brutalist ‘ice’ effect glass, the classical form is reminiscent of earlier Art Deco Lighting. It is flush mount and has decorative solid brass bolts along the sides.
At the focal point there is a large handmade Murano glass shade. The quality glass alongside the gold tone of the solid polished brass gives this Minimalist design elegance. This light is ideal for a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Classical, Hollywood Regency, Minimalist or Contemporary; perfect for when a flush light is needed with low ceilings or as a substantial sculptural addition to a wall. .
The quality square clear glass shade is textured; the edge simulates a water/ice effect and beautifully opens in the corners to great decorative effect. The outside surface is polished to a shine and has an undulated shape like water waves, while the internal surface is textured & natural with a layer of sparkling crystal shards. The result is a softly diffused light with depth & movement.
The removable glass shade has 4 holes, one along each side, and is secured to a large square polished solid brass base through 4 large decorative solid brass bolts around the sides. These bolts screw into individual metal arms extending from the brass base. The glass shade sits securely in place and can be easily removed to gain access to change the light bulbs.
The round base is in solid polished brass which reflects a warm tone. The base can easily be screwed to the ceiling or wall through 4 holes situated in line with the 4 arms that hold the shade.
This flush light carries 4 standard screw E 27 light bulbs up to 60 Watts each. At present fitted and photographed with 25 Watts clear Candle light bulbs. These are included in the price.
This vintage light is in very good condition. The glass shade is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The frame`s solid brass surfaces have the original clear lacquer on, and are in very good condition with a warm age patina in line with age.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care while packing. For safe transport the shade will be removed, bubble wrapped & boxed individually. Together these pieces would fit securely into a box ideal for shipping.
