AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Nouveau / early Art Deco bronze bowl chandelier – Signed pâte de verre bowl, original period mount, rare color palette
High-quality French Art Nouveau / early Art Deco lighting piece, presented as a bronze bowl chandelier, suspended by ornate chains and fitted with a finely decorated ceiling canopy.
The thick pâte de verre bowl is the defining feature of this piece. Executed in mottled pâte de verre, it displays an uncommon chromatic palette, combining:
mauve pink,
amethyst violet,
slate blue tones,
milky opalescent areas.
Unlike the more commonly encountered amber or opaline Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass, this bowl stands out for its complex layered coloration, visible through the thickness of the glass, providing depth and nuanced light diffusion.
The glass bowl is signed (signature visible on the vasque), confirming an authentic period glass production.
The refinement of the metalwork, the balance of proportions and the harmonious pairing with the signed glass place this chandelier firmly in the high-end segment of period French decorative lighting.
The ensemble is period, coherent, and represents a distinctive statement piece, suitable for an Art Nouveau, Art Deco or refined contemporary interior.

Art Nouveau / early Art Deco chandelier with a glass paste bowl shade – Signed glass paste bowl, original bronze mounting, rare color palette.
High-quality French light fitting in the Art Nouveau / Art Deco transitional style, presented as a bronze basin-style chandelier, suspended by ornate chains and equipped with a finely decorated escutcheon.
The thick pâte de verre basin constitutes the central element of this piece.
Made in clouded pâte de verre, it presents an uncommon color palette, combining:
pink mauve,
amethyst violet,
shades of slate blue,
milky opalescent zones.
Unlike Art Nouveau and Art Deco glassware more commonly found in amber or opal tones, this basin stands out for a complex chromatic combination, visible in the thickness of the glass, offering pronounced visual depth and nuanced light diffusion.
The basin is signed (signature visible), attesting to an authentic period glassmaking production.
