1960s German Peill & Putzler 'Artichoke' Opaline Glass Flush Mount Ceiling Light
About the Item
1960s Large German Peill & Putzler 'Artichoke' shaped opaline ceiling flush mount. The shade clips onto a black metal ceiling plate which screws directly to the ceiling. It easily pulls apart off the clips to allow access to the E27 screw in bulb. Rewired by a qualified electrician and in full working order. The light is perfect for most rooms of the home especially those with a low ceiling. This includes the bathroom because it's a sealed unit therefore any water won't be in direct contact with the electrics. The shade gives a wonderful warm glowing light which is dispersed through the opaline shade. It's a real favourite of mine because of its quirky design and looks wonderful from beneath. In very good vintage condition.

Peill & Putzler company bio from 1st Dibs - Transforming light manufacturing into an aesthetic art form, Peill & Putzler is synonymous with futuristic globular glassworks. It was a massive operation at the peak of its production, creating mid-century modern designs and employing up to 1,500 workers. Its table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers and pendants are anything but mundane and are admired today for their innovative artistry.
The melding of two great, independent glassworks companies in 1947 to form Peill & Putzler occurred at the beginning of a postwar design surge. Peill und Sohn, founded in 1903, was led by Leopold Peill, a philanthropist and glassmaker. Originally from Pieńsk in today’s Poland, the Putzler brothers were well-established glass producers known for paraffin street lighting. The synthesis of the two companies established the renowned glassworks and a lighting company. The site of its glassworks factory in Düren, Germany, became the home of this integrated partnership.
In 1953, the German Design Council was formed, with Peill & Putzler as a founding member. The council is essential today, bringing social awareness, support and knowledge transfer to design companies and providing beneficial tools for their success.
Heading the company at this time were Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel. The pair were experimental with the designs the company produced. Advancing technologies supported industrial production, allowing the company to manufacture pieces that were as much art as functional objects.
Designers of note who worked with Peill & Putzler and contributed to its acclaim included Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Helmut Demary, William Brown, Horst Tüselmann and Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. Collaboratively, they produced stunning flush mount lighting, candle holders and vases and vessels.

- 1970s German Peill & Putzler Flush Mount Circular Glass Ceiling or Wall LightBy Peill & PutzlerLocated in London, GBAn unusual 1970s German Peill & Putzler flush mount ceiling light or large wall light. The circular glass shade is secured to the aluminium fitting with a bolt in the centre which sits inside the decorative chrome knob and disc. Two E27 screw in bulbs sit within the shade facing in opposite directions in order to evenly distribute the light. The design is wonderful with sandblasted oval-shaped lozenges which get smaller towards the middle - "ever decreasing lozenges" with the smallest one creating a flower around the chrome disc. I have seen this light attributed to Kalmar Lighting and Glashutte Limburg but I am pretty certain it's Peill & Putzler but I am happy to stand corrected if anyone knows better. In very good vintage condition with some small scratches to the chrome disc in the centre. Rewired by a professional electrician and in full working order. I also have three smaller versions with the exact same design on the Retro Living...Category
