A beautiful French 1930 art deco pendant in nickel plated solid brass holding a bowl in clear frosted molded-pressed glass by Noverdy the well-known glass factory in Dijon France. The chandelier has a height of 41,4 cm (16,3 inches) and a diameter of 30 cm (11,8"). Three quite similar versions of these bowls with stylized art deco roses were made. One of 30 one of 35 and one of 40 cm wide. The one on offer here is the rare smallest version. You can find pendants with the 35 and 40 cm ones in my other listings.

Note the beautiful canopy that makes a perfect match with the design of the bowl.
The shade is signed Noverdy France Deposé on the rim. It is very good condition. I have replated and patinated the fixture and it comes newly wired. The chandelier holds an American standard base socket.

NOVERDY - Verrerie des Vosges : René & Jean Drouhot
In 1924 the businessmen from Dijon father and son Jean and René Drouhot purchased Verrerie des Vosges. A glass factory in the Moselle based villages of Hoffmuhl and Lutzelbourg. In 1925 Jean and René Drouhot also took over the société anonyme des Verreries de Dijon. Which was a glass factory founded in 1893 producing tableware. They renamed it Nouvelle Verrerie de Dijon. The lamp shades that were produced in their plants are often unsigned. Sometimes signed Noverdy (for Nouvelle Verrerie de Dijon). And a few models were signed Verrerie des Vosges. Sometimes we can see the signature Noverdi on acid-engraved bowls or vases. In 1928 a certain monsieur Jean Noverdy won a price at an exhibition. The home address of this price winning fantasy figure was the house of Jean Drouhot. For the rest there is not one file or register where the name or brand (Jean) Noverdy shows up.
