Vintage Industrial style Enamel Light Shade – Turquoise / Duck Egg Blue
A striking vintage style enamel light shade in a beautiful turquoise or duck egg blue colour, featuring a classic stepped industrial design. Pieces like this were commonly used in factories, workshops, and utilitarian spaces throughout the mid-20th century, where enamel shades were valued for their durability and ability to direct light effectively.
The shade has a pleasingly simple yet sculptural form, with concentric stepped detailing around the neck that adds a subtle Art Deco-influenced character. The glossy enamel finish reflects light beautifully, making it both practical and decorative.
Industrial enamel lighting has become highly sought after in modern interiors, especially in kitchens, cafés, studios, and loft spaces where vintage pieces bring authenticity and warmth that modern reproductions rarely match.
The interior is finished in white enamel to maximise light reflection, making it ideal for use as a ceiling pendant above a table, kitchen island, or workspace.
