Unique fixture from the early DDR era

This extraordinary fixture has been produced by VEB Leuchtenbau Leipzig (LBL) during the very first years of the DDR-era. LBL was the government-owned successor of the famous lighting company Kandem. This fixture was often used to be an outdoor light, and originally featured a glass cone to protect the lighting bulb. Its robust, yet delicate appearance makes it a favourite.

Together with many other fixtures, the Hebrew Cone was found at the ceiling of a storage building on the premises of a former East German refrigerator manufacturer. Presumably after a reconstruction, these lamps were stockpiled at the attic and left to be forgotten.

This Hebrew Cone was in good condition; and it has been restored leaving its original green color. It has been rewired with a black textile cable.
