A rare 1930 French art deco pendant in nickel plated bronze or solid brass holding a stunning star shaped bowl in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass by the glass manufactory Verreries des Hanots. It’s a model that’s never signed yet represented in the old Hanots catalogs. It was made in three different sizes. 30 45 and 55 cm. The one on this chandelier is the medium sized 45 cm one. You can have a look at my other ads for a wall sconce with this shade. Holophane was a large company producing industrial glasses in high volumes, During the interbellum until around 1938 they made high quality lamp shades under the name of Verreries des Hanots and vases and sculptures with their brand name Verlys. Most shades of Hanots are unsigned and therefor unknow to a larger public but together with Muller freres Jean Gauthier (EJG) Degué and Schneider Hanots was one of the five large glass factories making high quality lamp shades in moulded-pressed glass. The pendant is 76 cm high (29,9) and has a diameter of 44,5 cm (17-1/2 inches). It is in very good condition. I have renickeled the mounting and it is rewired holding six American candelabra base sockets. For European countries I will place E14 ones. The bowl has some small chips on the inside and on top of the rim. They hardly show with the chandelier in place. And like almost all thick pressed shades from the 30s the glass shows some internal hairlines due to the production process. Check out over 300 other French art deco lamps in my shop. French lamps and wiring. Art 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.
