1970s German crystal glass and solid brass flush mount ceiling light. Manufactured by Doria Leuchten. The flush mount features four-tiered levels of textured ice-glass tubes which hang from a white lacquered frame suspended from a circular antique-brushed brass ceiling plate frame. The flush mount has a total of 96 glass tubes in two different sizes and one large circular shade one which screws into the centre of all the tubes.
The light illuminates beautifully certainly adding an air of Hollywood luxurious glamour to any interior. Perfect for low ceilinged rooms, larger powder rooms, living and dining rooms and hallways. It's a stunning light that will give that certain wow-factor when entering a room.
The light requires 9 Edison E14 screw in lightbulbs or candle bulbs which sit above the glass and are interspersed evenly to allow the light to diffuse through the glass.
Doria Leuchten (also known as Doria-Werkstätten, Walter Donner GmbH & Co. KG) was a German lighting manufacturer. The internal design team was called DORIA-Studio. The company was founded in Fürth, Germany, in 1948 and ceased operations in 1986. Doria Leuchten received several iF Design Awards for their products.
The glass is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. The brass has a wonderful aged patina. The white frame does show some discolouration in places due to its age but this is completely concealed by the glass tubes surrounding it. There are four tubes of the smaller size missing which have been replaced by four of the larger tubes which stand slightly above the others by 1cm. I am in the process of sourcing four of the smaller tubes to match the others. If I am unable to source them this will need to be taken into account.
The wiring has been checked by a professional electrician and is in full working order.
Assembly: Start by hanging each one of the larger tubes starting from the centre and working outwards. The metal hanging clip fitted inside the tube has to face the interior otherwise it will be visible on the outside. Screw in the lightbulbs after the tubes that hang directly below have been hung. The larger shade which fits in the bottom should be screwed in place last of all and then screw the lightbulb inside not before.
Dimensions: Diameter: 52cm Height: 28cm. Brass Ceiling Plate: 33cm
