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.

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.
