About the Item

Large flush light brass and glass shade by Hillebrand Lighting, circa 1970s, German. Thoroughly cleaned respecting the vintage patina. Newly rewired, earthed, in full working order & ready to install. Light bulbs included. It is possible to install this light in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity. It can be used with a dimmer. This vintage light, by quality German manufacturer Hillebrand, was designed to work as either a ceiling or large wall light. While this vintage light is from the 1970s, 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 like a sunburst. At the focal point there is a large handmade Murano glass shade. The quality glass alongside the gold tone of the solid satin 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 clear glass shade is textured with organic curved shapes; the edge simulates a water/ice effect. The outside surface is polished to a shine, while the internal surface is textured & natural with a layer of sparkling crystal shards . The result is a softly diffused light. The removable glass shade has 3 holes along the side, and is secured to a large circular quality solid satin brass plate through 3 large decorative solid brass bolts around the circumference. These bolts screw into individual metal arms extending from the satin 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 satin brass which reflects a warm tone. The base can easily be screwed to the ceiling or wall through 3 holes situated in line with the 3 arms that hold the shade. This large flush light carries 4 standard screw E 27 light bulbs up to 40 Watts each. At present fitted and photographed with 25 Watts clear Candle light bulbs, which are included in the price. It could take other E 27 light bulb shapes for a different effect. This vintage light is in very good condition. The glass shade is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The solid satin brass surfaces have the original clear lacquer on, and are in very good condition with a warm age patina. 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. Additional dimensions: The diameter of the brass base alone is 42 cm. The diameter of the glass shade is 45 cm.
