This very rare fluorescent light fixture with a double tube is a close relative of the ‘Gazelle’. It was mainly used in light industrial areas in East Germany. It originates from the beginning of the DDR era and is one of the oldest fluorescent fixtures in our collection. The fixture is designed to be hung in various ways, there is also a wall version. Similar to the ‘Red Deer’, the fixture holds a horizontal bar with aluminium ends holding two glass tubes that each contain a fluorescent light.
ORIGIN
The lamp is salvaged from the premises of one of the oldest breweries in Berlin. For over a hundred years it was the source of one of the city’s top beers. Unfortunately, like many state-owned companies, the brewery went bankrupt as a result of the German reunification in 1989. This lamp hung illuminated one of the storage areas at the brewery.
RESTORATION
All our lights are restored by hand with the greatest care. As unique piece of heritage, we seek to preserve the light’s authentic appearance. We present the lamp in it’s original finish, or re-finish the light in it’s original color. The lamp has been completely rewired to current standards, and fully assembled and tested to European Legislation, We hope that it may be preserved for many centuries to come.
