About the Item

Opaline glass and Bakelite sphere wall or ceiling light, dating from the 1970s. The fixture combines a rounded opaline glass diffuser with a dark Bakelite mounting element. Its simple spherical form provides soft, even illumination while allowing the fixture to be installed either on a wall or directly against the ceiling. The compact proportions and restrained combination of opaque glass and dark Bakelite give the light a functional, geometric character typical of European lighting from the period. Dimensions: 21 cm high × 20 cm diameter. Sold individually. The price is per fixture.
