Glass Tube Chandelier, 1960s, Czechoslovakia
Produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, this glass tube chandelier was manufactured by Lustry n.p., Kamenický Šenov, a leading maker of modernist glass lighting. The design captures the essence of postwar Czechoslovak lighting—functional geometry enhanced by artisanal glass craftsmanship.
The chandelier consists of sixteen hand-blown glass tubes, each held in brass mounts, forming a compact yet visually dynamic structure. The transparency of the glass and the warm brass tones create a refined contrast, diffusing light with subtle brilliance. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, with all original components intact.
An authentic example of mid-century Czechoslovak design, this model exemplifies the elegance and precision that made Kamenický Šenov an international reference in glass lighting.
