Ah, the French...they sure did like their Deco era and made some outstanding lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tHere we have a fine French IRON chandelier that has the key elements of the Art Deco movement together in one lovely fixture. Circa 1920-30 it is truly an interesting chandelier. When we finished re-wiring it for American sockets and re-doing the wiring, we all just stood there and admired it. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tThe metal is all cast iron with a pewter finish with neat deco designs embedded in the castings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tThe shades are definitely from a finer French glassmaker and we attribute them to Vianne. While unusual, we have seen the shade before and it did have a paper label on them on other lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tAs mentioned, this chandelier has been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new American sockets and all new wire. There are 4 normal medium base porcelain sockets...one in each star pattern shade and then for balance, we installed a four-light chandelier cluster for the center shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tWe have been impressed with the neat casting quality of this chandelier as well as the decorative motif. It is just so different from the normal and it does give a striking appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tAs with any antique, it has seen life. Not every angle is perfect...not every surface is mint. If you need perfect...don’t consider this antique...it does show an antique existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Overall chandelier height is 37”. The diameter is a significant 28”. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\r\n\tPrice for the chandelier is \"only\" $2,750.00, plus careful packing and shipping. We say “only” because if you have done some chandelier shopping elsewhere, you will know that some folks are asking upwards of $5,000, or more, for a fixture of this unusual nature, and often, not as striking as this one. The price also reflects some “life” issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49997227294957,"sku":"ANT-1245","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5799\/6269\/files\/ANT-1245_a__Fantastic-Art-Deco-Impressive-French-Chandelier.jpg?v=1779309651","url":"https:\/\/jn2vnf-0i.myshopify.com\/products\/fantastic-art-deco-impressive-french-chandelier","provider":"Vintage Hardware \u0026 Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
