Rare Pendant Light with Opaline Glass Shade by Gispen
(4-6 weeks delivery time)
The uniquely exquisite pendant lamp, crafted in the Netherlands by Gispen under the name GISO, has been meticulously rewired and cleaned. Its original patina on the nickel and aluminum is an integral part of its charm, preserving its historical allure. These lamps originate from a church in Kralingen, Rotterdam, where they illuminated the space for many years.
Constructed from opal glass set within an aluminum shade, secured by four nickel arcs that create a crown-like effect, the lamp exudes a regal yet understated elegance. The pendant itself is also nickel, ensuring a harmonious design throughout. Originally fitted with an E40 socket, it now includes an E27 adapter for modern convenience while retaining its authentic character.
