Verreries des Hanots

A beautiful French art deco lamp. A base done in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holds a globe in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass. These globes were made by verreries des Hanots. This model is never signed. It was frequently used by Hettier et Vincent for their table lamps and chandeliers. But the glass manufactory des Hanots also sold it to other lamp producers. The base of this lamp is unmarked. The glass globe is not attached to the base but simply rests on it.
The lamp is 20,8 cm high (8-3/16 inches), And the globe has a diameter of 18 cm (7,1"). The lamp is in very good condition. I renickeled the base and rewired it with stylish cloth covered twisted cord. It now holds a European E14 socket. For the USA Canada or Japan I will wire it with an American candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug.

French lamps and wiring

Art deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer  lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia  French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets.  E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries.   An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures.  In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads.  All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
