Pair Art Deco Antique Vintage Holophane Ceiling Pendants Lights By Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann

£0.00

- An incredible pair of rare Art Deco Holophane ceiling pendants, designed by Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann for 'Galerie Le Bon Marché', French circa 1920.
-These lights originally hung in Le Bon Marché, the oldest department store in Paris and one of the oldest in the world. In the 1920s great names of the time such as Edgar Brandt and Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann were asked to convert the department store into a more modern Art Deco environment. These ceiling pendants were part of the new interior that also included handrails and balustrades.
- Each chandelier encompasses two sections of prismatic glass which are marked Holophane, held together by a stunning nickel plated bronze gallery.
- Wear commensurate with age, incredible verdigris in places across the two galleries. One of the pendants has some grazing to the upper section of glass and a chip to the outer rim as can be seen in the two photographs. Both are in fantastic condition and structurally very solid.
- 74cm high, 36cm wide, 36cm deep.
- Rewired and PAT tested, price is for the pair.

Holophane Originally founded in 1898 the hallmark of Holophane luminaires was the borosilicate glass reflector, which acted as a prism providing a combination of uplight and downlight, to illuminate any environment evenly without creating dark spots or glare. As a result Holophane lights were frequently used in churches, as street-lights and to illuminate older factories and industrial spaces.

All items on the John Zoffa website are vintage antique pieces and by their very nature, imperfect. When you purchase a piece from us, you are buying something with character and more often than not years of use. Before making your purchase please have an understanding that the pieces you are buying have had a life and ownership before your acquaintance. Therefore there will be elements of wear & tear or even damage that we believe add a quality, aesthetic and sheer presence that just can’t be replicated or indeed replaced. We always invite you to view the item or alternatively ask any questions you may have before making the purchase.

Refunds will only be granted when an item has a significant misdescription or an area of damage, not noted by us, which is more than just natural ageing. Returns must be made within 7 days of receipt of goods and received by us in the same condition as it left our premises. The cost of return is not refundable and we strongly advise you look into the necessary insurance in order to avoid the chance of damage whilst under the responsibility of your chosen courier.

In the event your item is damaged during shipping and after leaving our premises we ask that you notify us immediately with photographs of the packaging, and of the item itself. The shipping company is ultimately responsible to reimburse you for any damage that occurs during delivery and we will work alongside you in order to resolve this should it occur.
