MULLER FRERES: FRENCH 1930 ART DECO CHANDELIER. . Lustre Lamp Degue Era
Item History & Price
Muller freresA beautiful French 1925-1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holds three ball shaped shades in moulded-pressed glass signed Muller fres Luneville. These balls with a diameter of about 15 cm were sold by Muller under the name of boule aux bandeaux. The chandelier is in excellent condition. I have renickeled and patinated the fixture. It has a height of 74 cm (29-1/8"). And it'...s about 60 cm wide (23-5/8"). The chandelier is rewired and holds european E14 sockets. For the UK France or Australia I can place a B22 bayonet cap socket. For the US I will wire it with US candelabra base ones. Given the large diameter of the fixture I will have to ship it demounted to make it fit the maximum size parcel post allows. It are just three screws and 3 nuts to mount it again and I will add a clear manual. The chandelier will be shipped in two parcels. Free shipping offered. Priority mail with full insurance.

French lamps and wiringArt deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
