AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GEORGES LELEU
A beautiful French 1935 art deco flush mount by the famous Paris based company of Georges Leleu (1879-1946). He founded the company Leleu & Robillard by the turn of the century. At rue du Faubourg saint-Antoine in Paris. After the first world-war the business partner or investor Robillard left the firm which continued as Etablissement Georges Leleu. It closed down in the late 30s.
The mount in nickel plated bronze or solid brass holds a spectacular shade in clear frosted blown glass. This model shade is never signed. The mounting shows the usual foundry initials LR (for Leleu et Robillard). A similar model is represented in the 1935 Leleu product catalog. The ceiling lamp is 18,5 cm high and 38 cm in diameter (38 long and 35,5 deep). It is in very good condition. The mounting is re-nickeled. I rewired it with three American candelabra base sockets. For European countries I will place E14 ones.
On catawiki my listings have low reserve prices. I offer no aftersales when the reserve is not met.
Safe packaging guaranteed : As restorer specialized in French art Deco lighting for over 20 years I ship my parcels worldwide with the fragile items well protected and fully insured.
Having custom made wiring I can accept no returns.
No shipping to the USA.
