The chandelier hangs gracefully from a stem supported by five tubular poles. Its top is capped by an original matching hexagonal canopy, which complements the overall geometric theme. This lighting fixture is a testament to artistry and craftsmanship, emanating a radiant and luxurious ambiance in any space it graces.

About Schneider..........................................
Charles Schneider was born in Chateau-Thierry, near Paris, on 23rd
February 1881. At an early age he moved with his family to Nancy, the
artistic center of France.
His brother, Ernest Schneider (1877-1937), started working for Daum in
1903 as clerk. Charles had started an artistic career and was already
active at Daum since 1898. He performed his practical training in the
engraving and decorating workshop, but he also took drawing and
modelling lessons with Henri Berge.
During the late 1920's to 1930's, Degue copied Schneider’s Art Deco works. He not only imitated, but also managed to take on several glassworkers of Schneider as well. One can see imitation as the highest form of flattery, but Schneider thought else wise and thus sued Degue. They became embroiled in 6 years of litigation.
Charles Schneider eventually won the lawsuit, but the lengthily law process (1926-1932), cost both firms a lot of money. The case was finally settled out of court in 1932 but with massive financial consequences for all concerned.
Petitot produced fixtures in bronze with glass shades from the best French glass manufacturers which included Schneider.
Charles Schneider was known for the quality and design of his art glass which has made his name world-renowned. less
