Item History & Price
Henri FournetA beautiful French 1930 uplight art deco chandelier in nickel plated wrought iron and shades in moulded-pressed glass by Muller. Henri Fournet had his company Le Fer Forgé H.F. in Lyon making bronze and wrought iron lighting fixtures. This wonderful chandelier is represented as item #5102 in the Fournet catalogue #8 , October 1930. The four cups are an extreme rare model by Muller freres the famous glass facto...ry in Luneville France. All four are signed and in excellent condition. The fixture has its original nickel plating. It shows only minimal traces of wear. I´ve cleaned it and placed an invisible protective layer against oxidation. The chandelier has a height of 77 cm (30-5/16") and a diameter of 52 cm. The Muller shades are 9, 5 cm high and 12, 7 cm wide. The chandelier is newly wired. Ready to be hung. It holds four european E14 candelabra sockets. I will wire it for the US Canada and Japan with US candelabra base ones. B22 bayonet cap sockets for France the UK or Australia are also possible.Free shipping offered. Priority mail with full insurance. Very safe package. The lamp will be shipped in two parcels.

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.
