A beautiful French 1925-1930 art deco pendant in nickel plated bronze or solid brass holding an extremely rare shade in acid etched clear frosted glass by Noverdy. The bowl is signed Noverdi. The lamp is in very good condition. I have replated and patinated the fixture and it comes newly wired. There is one small chip on the rim. It hardly shows. See last two pictures. The chandelier has a drop of about 41,5 cm (16,34") and a diameter of 35 cm (13.78"). I rewired it with an American standard 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 Drouot 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 (jean) Noverdy shows up.
