AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Atmospheric French antique hanging lamp from the early 20th century, executed in an elaborately decorated bronze frame with a beautiful white, satin glass shade.
The glass shade features an elegant, baluster-shaped construction with vertical ribs and a decorative central band with relief decoration of stylized flowers and floral motifs. At the bottom, the glass tapers into a graceful point.
The shade is surrounded by a finely designed brass fitting/garland with abundant leaves, flower motifs and scroll ornaments. The long decorative chain and the ceiling cap are also richly executed, giving the lamp a particularly decorative character.
The combination of white glass and gold-colored brass gives the lamp a warm and elegant appearance. The design is aligned with French decorative lighting from the Art Nouveau period and the transition into the early 20th century.
The lamp is equipped with a bayonet fitting; if you would prefer a European E27 fitting, please let us know after the auction.
The lamp will be carefully packed and insured for shipment.
