A very large French art deco hanging fixture in wrought iron with a nice Schneider Le Verre Français bowl in mottled coloured acid-engraved cameo glass. Made in the 20s. This model is called Feuilles d'Oseille (Sorrel Leaves). Charles Schneider designed it between 1918 and 1921. The 21,26" wide bowl is signed with the usual Berlingot sign. A berlingot is one of the oldest traditional hard sweets from France in the colors of the French flag that inspired Schneider for this signature in the shape of a small coloured banner, see picture. Schneider made vases chandeliers table and night lamps with this Feuilles d'Oseille pattern. I show a picture from the standard book Charles Schneider, le Verre Français - Charder - Schneider by Joulin and Maier page 86.
The beautiful shade is held by the original Schneider fixture in wrought iron. Schneider employed a blacksmith and had his own forge on his compound in Epinay France. Where wrought iron mounts for vases were made as well as fixtures for night lamps perfume burners and chandeliers. The typical shape of the Schneider forged iron pieces is easy to recognize.
The pendant light has a total height of 37 inches (94 cm) and the glass bowl has a diameter of 21,3"(54 cm). Contact me if you want the chandelier to have another height. The pendant light is in excellent condition. The shade is without chips or cracks and the iron mount has a nice patina. It is rewired with three American candelabra base sockets.
