A rare French art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze by Maynadier. Made around 1930.
Pierre Maynadier had a manufactory producing high quality art deco lighting during the interbellum in Paris (25 rue Saint-Sébastien). In the late 30s they started to make lighting in pressed brass in a modernist style. After the war the son of Pierre took over and the grandson after him. The firm finally closed its doors in 1966.
In the 20s Maynadier mainly used shades by Muller freres for his bronze and wrought iron fixtures. The shades that are signed P. Maynadier were produced exclusively for Maynadier by Muller Frères in Luneville.

This nice and well-made Maynadier chandelier holds a beautiful and rare small dome shaped bowl as well as three side-shades. Done in clear frosted molded-pressed glass. The three side-shades are signed P. Maynadier. It is represented in the 1930 Maynadier product catalog. The chandelier has a total height of 80 cm (31-1/2") and a diameter of 64 cm (25,2 inches). It is in very good condition. The 90 years old nickel plating is still in good shape given its age but shows signs of wear. The chandelier comes newly wired. It holds four American candelabra base sockets.
