Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

Much of the lighting we salvage and restore from the former Eastern Bloc was produced in the manufacturing powerhouses of former Czechoslovakia. Under Communist rule the same design was often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage. The country is also famed for its beautiful glassware, with both wall and ceiling opaline glass lights often being used in public and residential settings, such as housing blocks and schools.

Restoration

As part of our research investigating each light’s history, our team delved into the National Archive at Prague’s National Technical Museum to unearth this original manufacturer’s catalogue showing this particular pendant light. Using this material to guide our restoration processes, the light’s unique storied patina, hand-painted finish and opaline glass have been carefully preserved.

Manufacturer: Franta Anyz

Leading Czech metal artist Franta Anýž (1876-1934) was famed for elevating everyday objects to high art status. Lighting became a prominent part of his business from 1910 with a range spanning decorative pendants to medical lamps. Following WW1 it was one of the most important metalworking enterprises in former Czechoslovakia, casting Prague’s most famed monuments. Franta’s son carried the business through WW2. Nationalised in 1948 under communist rule it became ‘Art Production Plant ZUKOV’.
