This is a wonderful original French vintage 1960s/70s modernist pendant ceiling lamp, with 4 arms each with amazing curled shades. It comes complete with the original wiring, central rod and black ceiling cup.
There are no markings, but I do believe it to be from the correct period and if it isn't an original Max Sauze it is certainly influenced by his designs.
Max Sauze is a French scu...lptor and artist. Born in Algeria in 1933, he studied at the famous Camondo school in Paris, then settled in Provence. Sauze is known for his mastery of aluminum, rejecting older design ideas by bringing new forms, geometric shapes and innovative creative techniques. He achieved international recognition for his lighting designs; a whole series of ceiling, wall and table lamps as well as occasional tables and other furniture.
In any case this is a stunning lighting solution which would make a real statement in any mid-century or modernist style room. An ideal gift for anyone with a love of 1970s design and it could be a great prop for any production set in the futurist era.
It takes 4 x (E14) Small Screw Cap Bulbs (not included) and looks fabulous with these silver capped filament bulbs which complete the look and design of this light, which is just as striking when turned off in daylight as it is illuminated.
In VERY GOOD vintage condition. There are some very minor cosmetic signs of age with some light patination to parts of the metal which are almost unnoticeable when it is fixed to the ceiling. As you can see it is currently in working order but as you will need either a professional electrician or a confident DIYer to fix it in your desired location, it will be up to them to get it working there. If you have any concerns about safety you should also have it professionally tested after it is in place. It is designed to be used with a European 220/240 volt domestic power circuit, so if you are from a country with 120 volt mains (like USA for example) it might need adapting, check with your fitter. Please see ALL photos and remember it is around 50 years old and has been used in the past.
Approx measurements: Width - 16 in / 40 cm Overall height - 11 in / 28 cm (but could be extended with addition of a longer flex)Shades - 8 in / 20cm tall x 3½ in / 9 cm diameter
