Description from the seller

State
The two pendant lamps are in an original, used condition with normal signs of wear and aging. The metal shows a natural patina and light oxidation, appropriate for their age. The glass shades are original, made of matte-satinized glass with etched decorations. No visible major cracks or missing ornaments. The electrical wiring and fittings are old and should be checked or replaced before use according to current safety standards.

Age
Likely manufactured between 1910 and 1935. The design combines features of late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) and the early Art Deco period, visible in both the organic ornamentation and the geometric glass decorations.

Material
Cast metal (likely spelter/zamak with bronze-colored finish)
Matte-satinized and etched glass
Metal hanging chains

Origin
Probably Western Europe, likely Belgium, France, or the Netherlands. The combination of cast decorative ornaments and etched glass is typical of decorative lighting produced in these regions during the interwar period.
