A wonderful French art deco ceiling fixture in nickeled bronze. This semi flush mount was made around 1928-1933 The high quality richly detailed mount by Paul Gilles holds a globe by the famous Muller glass company signed Muller fres Luneville. This model is referred to as boule aux paons (Peacock globe) in the old catalogs and exists in a smaller version as well. For this fixture Gilles used the 25 cm diameter one. See my other auctions for an identical ceiling lamp with gilt mount. Paul Gilles was a producer of art deco lighting in Paris during the interbellum. With his typical style of voluptuous bronze mountings holding molded-pressed glasses of the best factories (Muller Degué Schneider) his lamps are sought after nowadays. Gilles signed shades exist as well. They are models produced exclusively for him by one of the mentioned glass manufactories.
The pendant is represented on page 16 of the 1929 P. Gilles catalogue. It has a height of 42 cm (16-1/2") and the shade a diameter of 25 cm (9-7/8"). It is in very good condition. The old nickel plating turned grey and shows some wear consisting with age. I cleaned the fixture and the lamp is newly wired. It holds an American standard socket.
