PIERRE D'AVESN
A rare French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holding a bowl by … more PIERRE D'AVESN
A rare French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holding a bowl by Lorrain verrerie de belle étoile. Several important Lorrain pieces in pressed glass were signed d'Avesn.
The pendant on offer holds a d'Avesn signed bowl in clear frosted molded-pressed glass. Lorrain sold this model in three versions: clear glass patinated clear glass and colored glass. See my other listings for a pendant with the patinated version.
The bowl is represented in the old Lorrain catalog on page #101 where it´s referred to as coupole cône. A wonderful heavy shade in thick glass. The chandelier is in excellent condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the mount. And the lamp is rewired with an American standard socket. The pendant has a drop of 54 cm (21-1/4") and a diameter of 40 cm (15-3/4").
On Lorrain: In 1926 the famous Daum glas manufacturers opened a new plant in the village of Croismare near Luneville. A year later it started a production of pressed glassware. The new company 'Les Verreries d'Art Lorrain" merged with the one Daum already owned in this village "Les verreries de belle étoile". For these plants the Daum company employed the well-known designer Pierre d'Avesn , who till that time worked for René Lalique, as its artistic director. d'Avesn stayed in office till the Lorrain branche closed down in 1934. Some prestigious Lorrain models were signed P.d'Avesn like the bowl of this lamp. After the bankruptcy of Lorrain d'Avesn became the director of the Hanots/Verlys glass manufactory of the Holophane company.
