Hettier & Vincent : French art deco chandelier ... 1930 France

Hettier & Vincent
A stunning French 1930 art deco chandelier by Hettier & Vincent in nickel plated bronze. The fixture holds six rare shades in moulded-pressed glass. It's a beautiful model produced for H&V by Holophane (verreries des Hanots and Verlys). Hettier & Vincent was a well-known french lighting company. With a high quality finish of their lamp fixtures their chandeliers are now much sought after items. They produced lamps for the top end of the market and had their shop at the prestigeous and beautiful Place de Vosges in Paris - the groundfloor of number 7.
The chandelier has a drop of 79 cm (31-1/8) and it's 60 cm wide (23-5/8). I can remove a part of the chain and reduce the drop some 2 inches. The chandelier is in excellent condition. I have renickeled and patinated the fixture and it comes rewired. The chandelier holds six european candelabra size E14 sockets. So you can use our odern light bulbs for it. I will add six LED bulbs of good quality. For the US I will place American candelabra base sockets.
The signature on this model shades is very close to the hole for the socket. When the shades came out of the mould these socket holes were grinded into shape and often the signature got lost or only traces of it remained visible (see last picture). The six shades are in very good condition. In general glasses made by verreries des Hanots often show irregularities like very small hairlines or air bubbles due to the production proces.

The chandelier can be shipped by priority mail. Safely packed in several parcels and fully insured. A pick up in Rotterdam is possible as well.
