About the Item

This Glashütte Limburg flush mount 2773 or wall light was made in several versions, all with a round brass or chrome disk in the middle. This specific lamp model is named “Plissee”. As the name suggests, the material of the shades are treated to be permanently puckered or crinkled. The lamps feature a white opal crenate glass lampshades with a polished brass centrepiece in the middle. The design combines a traditional shape with innovative, modern touches that results in a look that has both a timeless and a contemporary feel to it. The opal glass dims the light to create a cosy effect and has many great qualities. The distinctive white colour is obtained by adding opacifiers to the melt. It stands out for its elegance, resistance and practicality which is why it has steadily been around since the 16th century. The round brass middle parts truly stand out against the opal glass, bringing the focus to the middle. 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. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some lacquer loss on the brass colored middle part. Dimensions: 11.02 in Ø x 5.11 in D 28 cm Ø x 13 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.
