Hanots : French art deco chandelier ... 1930 France

Verreries des Hanots
A large 1930 French art deco chandelier in nickel plated bronze or solid brass holding six shades in moulded-pressed glass by the glass manufactory Verreries des Hanots. The mounting is done in the typical more modernist style of the 30s like we know of Petitot Charles Ranc and many others. I could not find out which lighting manufacturer made these mount. I have a second version of this model listed in another ad : a downlight chandelier with six Degué shades. The nice amber colored Hanots shades are all signed. The pattern is refered to in the old Holophane (Verlys & Hanots) catalogues as 'Les Losanges'. The bowls plates and centerpieces done in this pattern were signed Verlys France. The tulips and cups for lighting were signed Hanots.
Holophane was a large company producing industrial glasses in high volumes, During the interbellum they made high quality lamp shades under the name of Verreries des Hanots and vases and sculptures with their brand name Verlys. Most shades of Hanots are unsigned and therefor unknow to a larger public but of the large French glass manufactories during the art deco era the quality of des Hanots shades is outstanding. The chandelier on offer is in excellent condition. It is 80 cm high (31-1/2). I could shorten the chain.. the minimum height possible would be 68 cm (26-3/4). It is 66,5cm (26-3/16 inches) wide and the Hanots cups have a diameter of 16 cm. One cup has moulding irregularity. Some traces of amber pigment inside the glass (see last picture). The heavy mounting is renickeled and patinated. It comes rewired with six E14 sockets.

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 and obviously cheaper.
