AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

French Art Deco chandelier with 3 arms – etched matte glass & patinated brass – France, circa 1920-1930

Description:
A stunning and fully authentic Art Deco three-arm chandelier, dating from the early 1930s (Late Art Deco / Transitional period).

The central body of the fixture features highly detailed cast work with geometric Art Deco lines, fluting, and a central lying medallion with a refined sunburst motif. At the bottom there is a decorative, sharp drop-shaped finial. The fixture is made of brass/copper and has developed a beautiful, deep dark patinated surface over the decades, with light wear on the raised edges, underscoring its authenticity.

The lamp is equipped with three stepped, goblet-shaped shades of etched matte glass (the well-known 'Decorette' model). The glass shades display stylized vertical chevron- and fan-patterns in relief, typical of the well-known French glass studios of that era (such as Muller Frères or Degué). When switched off, the lamp has a subdued, chic character; when lit, the shades glow with a very atmospheric, warm amber hue and the geometric pattern is beautifully highlighted.

Specifications & Dimensions:
Style: Art Deco
Estimated period: 1920s / 1930s
Country of origin: France / Europe

Total width (diameter): approx. 38 cm

Condition:

The wiring is original/old; for safe use and modern comfort it is recommended to replace the wiring and use modern (LED) light sources.
A timeless and characterful design object that fits perfectly in both a classic, vintage, and eclectically modern interior.

Seller's Story

If something moves me, I buy it. It’s that simple, really. Since 2008 I scour here and abroad, always looking for that one object with a soul. Whether it’s an ancient antique piece or modern design: if it radiates craftsmanship and character, I’m hooked. I enjoy giving these finds a new home. Take a look around, and I hope my passion for quality touches you as well.
