SCHNEIDER : FRENCH 1920 ART DECO PENDANT Le Verre Français cameo chandelier 1925

CHARLES SCHNEIDER
A wonderful 1920 French art deco pendant in wrought iron holding a nice Schneider shade in mottled coloured cameo glass. This model is called Aubépines (Hawthorns). Schneider made vases table lamps and chandeliers with this hawthorn pattern. I show a picture of a page from the important book on Schneider by Joulin and Maier.
The beautiful Aubépines bowl is held by the original Schneider fixture in wrought iron. Schneider employed a blacksmith and had his own forge on his compound in Epinay France. Here wrought iron mounts for vases were made as well as fixtures for nightlamps perfume burners and chandeliers. The typical shape of the Schneider forged iron pieces is easy to recognize.
The bowl is signed with the usual Berlingot sign. A berlingot is a candy in the colors of the French flag that inspired Schneider for this signature in the shape of a small colored banner, see last picture.
The pendant has a total height of 60 cm high (23-5/8) and the glass bowl has a diameter of 40,5 cm (15-15/16). It's a nice height for high ceilings. If your ceiling isn't that high I can easily shorten the fixture for you. The shade is without chips or cracks and the iron mount has a nice deep-brown patina. It is rewired with an American standard socket. For other countries I can place a E27 one for European lighting bulbs.
