20th Century Black Industrial Iron Ceiling Light by Veb

About the Item

A vintage industrial steel ceiling light by VEB with black iron powder coat finish. These ceiling lights date back to the 1970s where they were used as cargo bay lighting. The glass rim has three quick release catches which open to reveal the lamp. These original reclaimed pendants have been restored for use in domestic and commercial environments. This light has been re-finished with an iron coating to produce a matt black finish. A great solution for kitchen islands, dining tables, breakfast bars and even snooker tables etc where you want to inject some industrial style. Or hang in multiples at high level to light larger areas. We restore these fixtures sympathetically to retain the characteristic patina. Due to the bespoke nature of this product, there may be slight differences between each item. VEB was formed in he early 1950s and was the biggest Luminaire manufacturer in the GDR. The publicly owned operation (German: Volkseigener Betrieb; abbreviated VEB) was the main legal form of Industrial enterprise in East Germany. The VEB's were all publicly owned and were formed after mass nationalization between 1945 and the early 1960s, and the handing back in 1954 of some 33 enterprises previously taken by the USSR as reparations. Materials: Steel dome with black iron finish Aluminium glass frame. Steel quick release catches. Ceramic lamp holder. Measures Width 38 cm Height 30 cm All lights are professionally re-wired in-house to exceed British Standards using CE approved or UL listed components depending on your territory.
