Superb Original Art Deco Pendant Light with Stepped Opaline Glass Shade and Bronze Gallery, c. 1930
A striking and authentic example of early 20th-century design, this original Art Deco pendant light features a beautifully tiered opaline glass shade suspended from its original patinated bronze gallery. The stepped, beehive form of the shade is a classic hallmark of the Art Deco movement, reflecting the era’s fascination with geometric forms and modern industrial elegance.
The opaline glass displays a soft, diffused glow when lit, providing both atmospheric warmth and functional clarity—ideal for both residential and commercial interiors. The gallery retains its original bronze finish, naturally aged to a rich, warm patina that complements the cool tones of the glass.
This piece comes complete with its original chain and twisted fabric flex, ready for installation. Its scale makes it especially suitable for kitchens, hallways, or as a statement piece in a smaller room. A rare find in such fine, untouched condition, this light embodies the refinement and craftsmanship of the Art Deco period.
