Glashütte Limburg Brass and Glass Flush Mount Light, Germany 1970s

About the Item

The interior luminaires from Glashütte Limburg have been part of their range for almost six decades. The company has been known for their impeccable craftsmanship in the production process and therefore, the high-quality end products, such as this rare flush mount light. Often mentioned shortly as ‘Limburg’, the company’s designs are quite versatile, ranging from streamlined modern pieces to models with more organic forms, such as this flush mount. This model is mounted so that the body of the fixture is inside the wall, leaving only a cover plate on top of the surface. The glass dome’s shape truly stands out thanks to this, especially when illuminated. With a focus on its materials, this model has a rounded glass diffuser that diffuses a wonderful 360° openwork beam that brings warmth and style. The sectioned glass creates an appealing look even when the light is turned off. The round brass middle part stands out against the glass, bringing the focus to the middle. The design rests on a brass base that lifts the shade off the wall just enough to lighten the look and shines beautifully when lit. Glashütte Limburg is a true manufacturer, where impeccable craftsmanship remained in the focus throughout the past decades. While the designer of this model is unknown, many lamps of the company were designed by the Designabteilung Glashütte Limburg (design department) or Atelier Glashütte Limburg. This flush mount combines a traditional shape with innovative, modern touches, and the result is a look that has a both timeless and contemporary feel to it. It is a little jewel that is sure to bring interest to any wall surface and a cosy, atmospheric lighting. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 9.05 in Ø x 7.08 in D 23 cm Ø x 18 cm D About the designer: Three months after the end of the Second World War in August 1945, graduate engineer Dr Walter Heinrich submitted his first plans for setting up a glass-works to the American military authorities in Limburg an der Lahn in Germany. Approval for building the factory was issued rapidly because the country urgently needed all types of glass. As a result, the ground was broken for Glashütte Limburg as early as 28 September 1945. Initially, the company was called Glasshüttenwerke Limburg GmbH and employed 80 people. The production range covered drinking vessels, mugs and many other types of catering glasses. Production capacities were increased, and Glashütte Limburg became Europe’s largest lighting glass specialist within just a few years, employing almost 1000 people. In 1962, the company succeeded in winning BEGA Gantenbrink-Leuchten OHG, founded in 1945 – which was at that time already one of the largest companies in the German lighting industry – as its ideal partner. The very first lighting catalogue of Glashütte Limburg appeared in 1963. The Glashütte Limburg company received the state prize for “Gute Form 1982” (good design 1982) and the “Corporate Design Award 1985”. Glashütte Limburg received 160 iF Design Awards in total.
