About the Item

A striking and highly decorative French Art Deco five-light chandelier dating to circa 1930, combining gleaming chrome-plated metal, ribbed Bakelite detailing and original hand-moulded opaline glass shades. The chandelier is arranged in a dramatic suspended wagon-wheel configuration, with five evenly spaced arms creating a strong, symmetrical architectural silhouette. Ribbed Bakelite pillars provide a particularly distinctive period detail, contrasting beautifully against the streamlined chrome-plated framework. Each of the five lights is fitted with a stepped dome-form shade in hand-moulded white opaline glass. Characteristic of 1930s modernist lighting, the softly translucent glass diffuses the light evenly and creates a warm atmospheric glow when illuminated. The chandelier retains its substantial chrome ceiling plate, distinctive double-design suspension chain and period brass B22 bayonet bulb holders. The combination of chrome, Bakelite and opaline glass encapsulates the sophisticated machine-age aesthetic of European Art Deco design. Professionally rewired using period-appropriate three-core fabric-braided cable, earthed, tested and reported to be in perfect working order. An impressive statement fixture for a dining room, entrance hall, living room or sophisticated period interior.
