Art Deco Cubist Wrought Iron and Frosted Glass Chandelier, Manner of Edgar Brandt
Art Deco Cubist Wrought Iron and Frosted Glass Chandelier, Manner of Edgar Brandt
This stunning three-arm Art Deco chandelier was realized in France, circa 1930. It features a central convex domed shade replete with an abundance of geometric cubist motifs, including stylized foliate patterns, etched into the frosted glass. Three wrought iron arms extend from the circular central body, each of them with a cylindrical shade (also with cubist motifs) descending downwards. The chandelier arms as well as the supports that connect the original canopy to the chandelier frame consist of ornate curvilinear wrought iron work, executed in the manner of Edgar Brandt. With its monochromatic palate and beautiful craftsmanship, this chandelier is as versatile as it is aesthetically pleasing, blending perfectly with any style of interior from Classic Deco to contemporary. It has been newly rewired to American standards and is in excellent vintage condition. The height can be adjusted to suit. The chandelier accommodates 4 Edison based bulbs offering up to 400 watts of light.
