Large Greek Industrial Wall Light 1
Large Greek Industrial Wall Light 1
These three large industrial wall lights, imported from a defunct Greek army base, are made of galvanised iron with an enamel interior. This style of lights are still used on the urban roads in Greece in places, but are hard to come by privately. From the 1950s post-war period, the lights have a conical head and a tubular iron body. They would be perfect for restaurants, galleries, or other commercial spaces where a rugged and bare aesthetic is required.
The pipe brackets screw into the wall, and then the supporting section on top takes another screw to hold them up. Please note these lamps have their original wiring, and as such don't work. It wouldn't be hard to re-wire them for use, however.
There are three of this kind available, but the price is for one light only. You can buy them together or separately. Each one has slightly different wear.
