SABINO FRENCH ART DECO LAMP 1930. Lampe muller era 1935
A very rare French 1935 art deco table lamp in nickel plated brass holding a large shade in frosted and locally hand polished moulded-pressed glass by the famous glass factory of Marius Sabino. An uncommon and hard to find model. The shade exists in two sizes. This is the smaller one with a diameter of 16,6 cm. These Sabino snail shell shades are never signed. The base is signed. Sabino Paris made in France. With the usual stamps the Sabino workshop used for its brass and bronze hardware. The lamp has a height of 22,5 cm (16-19/64). It’s in very good condition. Almost no wear to the original nickel plating. Two unimportant chips at the bottom of the rim. The lamp comes rewired with an American. Candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug. For other countries I will place a European E14 socket. 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.
