A nickel-plated bronze or solid brass French art deco pendant by Célestin Jamain made around 1930-35. It holds a nice hexagonal bowl by Degué done in clear partly frosted molded-pressed glass. This Degue model numbered #1058 has a diameter of some 41 cm. It is in very good condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the mounting. The chandelier has a height of 45 cm. The lamp is rewired and holds a E27 standard socket for which a good quality LED bulb will be added. For the USA or Japan I will place an American standard 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 and successful manufactory of bronze lighting fixtures. The old Jamain product catalogs show he used glass shades from many different glass factories such as Degué Muller and Schneider. The canopy of this pendant can be seen in numerous fixtures in the 1933 C.Jamain catalog (the catalog is no part of this sale).
