Product description
Product description
An elegant glass chandelier with five slender shades shaped like lily blossoms, produced in the 1980s, most likely by Lustry n.p. Kamenický Šenov – an iconic Czechoslovak lighting manufacturer.
Each shade is made of delicate glass with a structured diamond-like texture, giving the surface a soft, silky, slightly pearlescent look. Combined with the golden-toned mount, the piece creates a refined and luxurious impression.
Historical background
Kamenický Šenov has been a glassmaking center since the 18th century, and after nationalization in 1948, it became the main producer of lighting fixtures under the brand Lustry n.p., later known worldwide as Preciosa. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company produced hundreds of chandelier models that combined hand-blown or pressed glass with modernist lines. This model is a fine example of late modernist design moving towards subtlety and decorative minimalism.Style and use
The Lily chandelier is a perfect addition to modern as well as retro interiors. Its elegant form and finely textured glass create both a decorative and functional element. Ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, or representative spaces, it provides soft lighting and a sense of calm elegance.
