Muller Frères - Chandelier - Wrought iron - Art Deco chandelier

French Art Deco chandelier with signed glass shades by Muller Frères Lunéville – Wrought iron & pressed-molded glass, circa 1925–1930

An exceptional French Art Deco chandelier dating from around 1925–1930. This five-light ceiling fixture combines artistically wrought iron with warm-toned, geometrically textured pressed glass, impressively embodying the elegant design language of French Art Deco.
Its striking square structure, finely crafted ironwork details, and harmonious interplay of the different glass elements give the chandelier a stately yet timelessly elegant appearance.
The distinctive square frame is made of artistically wrought iron. Delicate openwork on the sides, decorative ironwork elements, and the stylized suspension demonstrate the craftsmanship and design ambitions of the period.

The iron has been carefully cleared of older rust and professionally sealed with linseed oil. This has largely preserved the metal’s original character and dark, matte surface. Minimal traces of surface rust are still visible in a few places, underscoring the authentic patina of this historic object.

At the center is a generously sized, hemispherical glass bowl made of frosted, amber- to salmon-colored pressed-molded glass. Its geometric relief decoration creates an appealing interplay of light, color, and texture.
The four outer glass shades are made of pressed-molded glass and are signed Muller Frères Lunéville (see detail photos). As is often the case with fixtures of this type, the large central glass bowl is unsigned.
The combination of geometrically designed pressed glass and the dark wrought-iron mount gives the chandelier its characteristic Art Deco aesthetic.
Good vintage condition consistent with age, with authentic patina and age-appropriate signs of use.
The fixture has been professionally rewired.
There is a very small chip on the large central glass bowl and on two of the small lampshades, visible in the final detail photos.
One small original screw is missing from the iron fitting, along with two small screws used to hold one of the four lampshades in place (see detail photos). These can be replaced with screws that are very similar in appearance. Suitable replacement screws are included, so the fixture can be fully assembled.
