Early American Art Deco chandelier. C. Mid. 1920’s - early 30’s No definite maker stamp, but likely the remarkable Martele line. The glasswork is unmistakably by the famous Consolidated Glass Co. The use of color & design are consistent with Consolidated’s Martele design. Pronounced, Mar-te-lay, French meaning hand wrought, or hand made. No less, American made. An absolute rarity in jade green. Very good, outstanding, antique condition. Restored with new wiring, & socket. No cracks, or major chips. Note, photo # 11, there are a couple of minor flea bite nicks. The light fixture displays extraordinarily well. This is a two part fixture. The shade is essentially useless without the original 3 prong fixture. The beautiful solid brass canopy is vintage, old/new stock. We are fortunate to see the two pieces together as intended by the artist. Notice how the art deco design carries through to the antique glasswork on the canopy rosette. The generous fixture canopy is cast in bronze/brass. Polished during the restoration. However, it will darken over time. Measuring 6-3/3” At it’s widest. The 3 arms mounting the glass has been painted in silver, possibly original, no less they appear to be brass. Take notice of all photos included in the listing. An absolute pleasure to see this light hanging when off and when lit up. All necessary mounting hardware included, ready to install. You could search from now until the next century and not find a comparable piece of antique lighting history.
One regular size bulbs. The light fixture has a drop from the ceiling of approximately 21”. Adjustable by a few inches shorter if needed. Art glass shade is approximately 12 3/8” at it’s widest.
