⚡ Electricity of yesteryear – the charm of Bakelite ⚡
Here is a set full of character: sockets, plugs, sconces and accessories in marbled Bakelite, accompanied by a faceted frosted glass globe. These pieces, dating from the 1930s to 1950s, were part of the daily electrical life of yesteryear — solid, elegant, functional.
They reflect the unique aesthetic of the beginnings of modern electrification, between industrial design and decorative art.
