Grand French Modernist / Art Deco Period Chandelier
Circa 1930's, France

 

Dramatic Grand Art Deco period chandelier in a rare and hard to find size.
Rectangular shaped, rounded body with mitered corners with eight scrolled arms.
Ideal for a large rectangular dining table, conference table or Kitchen Island.

Polished Nickel body, adjustable, tubular down rods and flared rectangular canopy,
with polished brass band accents on sides and corner seams.
Lower light panel features a frosted glass panel framed in polished brass.

The top is open to allow for easy bulb changing and for heat to escape.
The inside of the chandelier body has been painted white for ideal light reflection.
This fixture offers excellent light. We suggest installing with a dimmer.

The arms can be topped with custom shades, glass shades, or left with bare bulbs.
(shades of any sort are not included-one photo below shows with a white opal glass shade as an example only)
