JAMAIN & FRONTISI
A signed French art deco hanging fixture around 1930 in nickel plated bronze or solid brass. The pendant was made by Célestin Jamain and holds a rare bowl signed Frontisi in clear frosted molded-pressed glass. The chandelier is in very good condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the mount. The pendant has a height of 48,5 cm (19,09") with a diameter of 35 cm (13,78 inches). It is rewired and holds an American standard base socket.
After the first world war Célestin Jamain took over Etablissement Jamain-Laurent the company of his father at 17-19 rue Gambey in Paris. During the interbellum he turned it into a large successful manufactory of bronze lighting fixtures. The old Jamain product catalogs show he used glass shades from many different glass factories like Degué Muller and Schneider. A slightly different version of the canopy can be seen in numerous fixtures in the 1933 C.Jamain catalog (which is no part of this sale).
Frontisi was a wholesale for electricians and lighting producers in Paris. It had a panel a side-shade and a bowl designed that is signed with its own signature. But Frontisi was not a glass manufacturer. It is uncertain which factory made these Frontisi shades. The Frontisi glass panel was produced in high volumes and can be found on many 1930 art deco chandeliers. Jamain also made a nice chandelier with them. But the Frontisi bowl is a rare find.
