ABOUT PRODUCTID 17612
This industrial wall lamp by Pragotron is an original 1950s Czech railway station clock, thoughtfully repurposed into a decorative lighting piece. The robust body is crafted from dark brown bakelite with a glossy finish, surrounding a gently domed, ivory-toned face. The dial features minimalist, rectangular black hour markers and thick clock hands—elements emblematic of mid-century industrial design principles. The Pragotron logo at the base asserts the clock’s provenance, grounding it firmly within postwar Czechoslovak modernism. The smooth, high-sheen bakelite contrasts subtly with the matte face, emphasizing its geometric silhouette. The transformation into a lamp is realized through a discreetly added cord and LED illumination, while the original screws and mounting details are carefully retained. It now serves as a decorative wall light; the clock’s timekeeping function has been rendered purely aesthetic. Condition is good, with minor patina and gentle signs of age appropriate to its era, and no significant damage or traces of restoration noted.This lamp speaks in the measured, utilitarian tones of postwar Europe—its form echoing a time when every element found
