This large French Art Deco pendant light, dating to the 1920s, combines refined craftsmanship with striking natural materials.
The generously sized alabaster bowl (50 cm / 19.7 in) is beautifully carved with a scalloped rim and a central medallion detail that accentuates its graceful, fluted form.
The stone itself displays dark and light veining in shades of cream, grey, and brown, with subtle translucency that creates a deep, atmospheric glow when lit.
The illumination brings out the alabaster’s natural layers, enhancing its dimensional quality and cloud-like texture.
Suspended from geometric brass chains and a matching canopy, the fixture strikes a balance between elegance and strength.
The chain links not only provide secure support but also serve as a striking design feature in their own right.
With three interior sockets, the pendant provides ample, even light, perfectly highlighting the alabaster’s structure and veining.
It is a sculptural centerpiece that elevates interiors with timeless Art Deco sophistication.
Dimensions: • Height: approx. 58 cm (22.8 in) – adjustable by removing chain links; • Diameter: 50 cm (19.7 in).
Technical details: • Three new sockets for E27 (E26) light bulbs.
