Schneider & Vasseur : French art deco lamp... 1930 France

Marcel Vasseur & Charles Schneider
A wonderful French art deco lamp made around 1925-1930 done in wrought iron of excellent quality. The forged base holds a nice coloured hexagonal shade in mottled glass produced by Charles Schneider. It is signed in the usual Schneider signature used around 1926 onwards.
The lamp was made by Marcel Vasseur a blacksmith who had like E.Brandt and R.Subes a large workshop in Paris making pieces both on command as for his own outlet. Vasseur was represented at the 1925 art décorative exhibit in Paris. He used several different shades on this base. Muller ones in clear moulded-pressed glass as well as Daum or Schneider shades in double layered handblown glass with colour inclusions.

The lamp is 30,5 cm high, 12 inches. It is in excellent condition. And comes rewired with new cloth covered twisted cord and a stylish brass and porcelain E14 socket so you will have no difficulties finding suitable bulbs for it. Originaly old French lamps had B22 bayonet sockets. But they are very unpractical. Good quality modern light bulbs are hardly available. And for professional restorers 90 years old sockets are forbidden to use. So I wire lamps as these with E14 sockets for which bulbs are widely available. For European countries I will add a 15 watt bulb.
For the States or Japan I will rewire the lamp with a US candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug. The Vasseur catalog is of coarse no part of this sale.

The lamp will be shipped by priority mail. Safely packed and fully insured. Free shipping offered for Belgium France Holland or Germany. A pick up in Rotterdam is possible as well.
