An Art Deco Revival Flush Mount Glass Ceiling Square

About the Item

Art Deco Revival, Mid-Century Modern flush mounted ceiling square. Three dimensional protruding patterns of geometric form decorate this lovely architecturally square chandelier. A gridwork of square glass panels structurally and decoratively supported by original nickeled bronze clips. As an extension of the 1920s Art Deco movement, the Art Deco revival of the 1960s with its Post Modern and pop art movements of geometric forms and bold colors took inspiration from Art Deco. The revival extended through the 1970s and 1980s until today. Several fairly newly constructed NYC skyscrapers (The Centrale on East 50th Street, Rose Hill 30 East 29th Street, 25 Park Row in the Financial district, Vandewater in Morningside Heights... are being fashioned after Art Deco design and others are being populated with Art Deco flourishes. It's referred to as the return of the golden age design, a period of optimism and hope. These flush mounts can be used in a bedroom, bathroom, entry, foyer, hallway, closet, child's room or anywhere a little glamorous sparkle is desired. We have deeper box shaped pendant version of this available as well. Wired for US standards. Electrified for four candelabra based sockets which can house either incandescent or LED bulbs. Due to periods of historic turmoil, many of the glass designers worked for multiple lighting manufacturers. Entire sections of countries were annexed by adjoining countries. Borders changed. Czechoslovakia was under German occupation and rule. After the war, from 1948-1990, it became part of the Eastern Bloc. As a socialist and satellite state of the Soviet Union, it had an economy of command where rules, production … were determined and set by the government. In 1958, Czechoslovakia exhibited in the Brussels World Fair and gained world -wide attention for using modern materials of steel, glass and plastic. The country won the main and several other prizes for its lights. This new style of lighting became known as the Brussels style, a symbol of the golden decade of progress, reform and political liberation. But in 1968, the Warsaw Pact consisting of the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary invaded with the intention to forcibly halt the reforms. East Germany cancelled and pulled out of the pact hours before the operation. Original polished nickel finish on clips with superficial abrasions, light pitting or light wear commensurate with age. In good condition.
