Pierre D ' Avesn LORRAIN DAUM : FRENCH 1930 ART DECO PENDANT CHANDELIER 2
Item History & Price
Pierre d'Avesn
A rare French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holding a bowl by Lorrain verrerie de belle étoile. The famous Daum company opened this second factory in 1929 mainly to create a line of moulded-pressed glasses. They made Pierre d'Avesn its artistic director. Pierre Gire, aka Pierre d'Avesn, worked as designer for René Lalique till 1926. From 1929 onwards till its closure in 1936 he worked for Daum as direct...or of Lorrain. In 1937 he became the head of Verlys/Verrerie des Hanots. Several important Lorrain pieces in moulded-pressed glass were signed d'Avesn. Originaly these items had a Lorrain sticker. I have a rare d'Avesn bowl in my collection that still holds this sticker.The pendant on offer holds a d'Avesn signed bowl in clear frosted mouled-pressed glass. It's represented in the old Lorrain catalog on page #101 where it´s refered to as coupole cône. A wonderful heavy shade in thick glass. I have a second identical light on offer in another ad. This auction is for one pendant only. Both bowls are in clear glass that's a little off-white, a delicate greyish mauve touch. The chandelier is in excellent condition. I have renickeled and patinated the authentic fixture. And the lamp is rewired with an american standard socket. For European countries I will place a E27 one. The pendant has a drop of 47, 5 cm (18-45/64") and a diameter of 40, 5 cm (15-15/16").
Free shipping offered.. The chandelier will be shipped fully insured by priority mail.

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.
