Description from the seller
French Art Deco Pendant Lamp – Signed Rethondes – ca. 1930
Description
Elegant and authentic French Art Deco pendant lamp dating from the early 1930s, signed Rethondes.
The bowl is executed in thick, high-quality marbled glass in warm amber, honey, and golden yellow tones, with subtle orange cloud inclusions. When illuminated, the shade produces a rich sunset-like glow with beautiful depth and atmosphere.
The signature is acid-etched on the side of the bowl.
The lamp retains its original three-chain suspension and decorative canopy. The hardware features period Art Deco rosette mounts. The textile-covered electrical cord is in vintage style.
This model is particularly attractive due to:
• Strong, evenly distributed marbling
• Excellent luminous effect when lit
• Signed example
• Elegant and balanced proportions
A refined and atmospheric Art Deco lighting piece.

About Rethondes
Rethondes was a French Art Deco glass workshop active in the late 1920s and 1930s. The firm produced decorative art glass lighting characterized by warm marbled coloration and softly diffused illumination.
