This is a wonderful, rare, and genuine period hand blown 'Pâte-de-Verre' glass table lamp designed by (probably) Charles Schneider at the Epinay-sur-Seine factory Paris which dates, I would guess, to between post World War One to the latter 1920’s. It is depicted in a stylised mushroom form with shade and base rendered in the predominately blue Pâte-de-Verre technique on a matt white ground with the shade supported by three spokes with decorative bronzed leaf endings, while both shade and base are illuminated when lit - see photographs 8 & 9. It is marked to the bottom edge of shade and base with the hand etched Le Verre Francais mark and a Cross of Lorraine - see photographs and details.

    It measures 16" (41cm) H x 6" (15cm) W (across the base of the shade) approx; and is in excellent condition with no defect at all to report – again see photographs and details.

    This is a wonderful piece of period French Art Deco hand blown glass from a master of the medium in a really great unique design and is in fine, working (see the illuminated photographs) condition that with a realistic, yet low, start price should get considerable interest from all collectors. Its size and proportion are almost perfect for a home environment – not too imposing but large enough to make an impressive statement.


    * Overseas customers please take note : the weight (or size) of the item is well over the 2kg small parcel limit, therefore the shipping cost is a guide line only and will depend on the destination country. Therefore, the international shipping is an estimate, albeit a relatively accurate one (the item has been weighed with a suitable box and the price quotation taken from the net, however there may be a small variation in price depending on the destination). I have taken Germany as the European destination and the USA as the world #1, and Japan as the world #2 zones, however if you live in say, Australia. The cost may be a few pounds more - so please wait for your invoice before payment.

               Thank you.
