Chrome, Black Enamel and Clear Glass Pendant, 1960s Attrib RAAK
Chrome, Black Enamel and Clear Glass Pendant, 1960s Attrib RAAK
An elegant, long-stemmed pendant light in restrained modernist Mid Century style.
Several producers made lights like this: Stilnovo in Italy; Orrefors in Sweden; Lyfa in Denmark; Raak in the Netherlands.
We are plumbing for Raak or Lyfa on this one, as the glass production is not of the crystalline quality of Orrefors, though it is still very good, and the hardware is not of the extreme quality of Stilnovo, though it is still excellent.
Thick, heavy glass is housed in satiny black enamelled metal with white reflective interior. Chrome fixtures finish the light and enhance its strictly modernist appeal.
Definitely of European origin and high quality. This light is wired to Australian standards and has been recently tested and tagged, safe for use in Australia. Customers from the UK, Europe and the US, be aware that it takes a standard B22 Bayonet bulb, not an Edison Screw bulb.
Please enquire if you need rewired to Edison Screw. We may be able to accommodate.
DIMENSIONS:
Drop 100 cm
Diameter 25 cm
CONDITION:
Light scratches to top of the black housing. Some marks on the ceiling cup, not noticeable in situ. A few marks on Chrome stem. Moderate scratches on chrome finial that holds glass to fixture. See images. Very good condition overall.
