AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco ceiling light shade - French - amber frosted glass - ca. 1925-1940
Description:
A distinctive Art Deco lampshade/ceiling light shade, probably made in France around 1925-1940. The shade is made of thick, warm honey- to amber-colored pressed glass with a frosted finish. The glass features an attractive raised design of highly stylized leaves or feathers. On the inside, the design can be seen converging radially into a six-pointed, star-shaped rosette.
The egg-shaped contours, decorative finial and geometrically stylized plant motifs give the shade a pronounced Art Deco look. When illuminated, the relief stands out particularly beautifully.
Dimensions:
Height: approx. 27 cm
Largest diameter: approx. 20 cm
Mounting ring/opening diameter: 9 cm
The shade is unsigned. Purchased in France. As there is no signature or other documentation, its origin is cautiously described as probably French.
Condition: good vintage condition, with light surface scratches and signs of use consistent with its age. A small chip of approximately 5 mm is missing from the mounting edge. It is located on the fitting rim. Please see the photos for a good impression of the condition.
An attractive and decorative original glass shade with characteristic Art Deco styling, suitable for completing or restoring a historic ceiling light or another suitable fixture.
