Old bronze Art Nouveau Guimard's lamp. Amber Pâte de Verre.

This adorable French Art Nouveau period pendant chandelier features a mottled “Pâte de Verre” art glass shade in orange, yellow, and cream color, signed ”Schneider” by Charles Schneider, hung at an ornate brass and bronze fixture with one socket for E14 size light bulb. Dimensions: Diameter ca. 30 cm / 11.81 in, height 48 cm / 18.89 in. The light fixture is in complete working order, but as with all vintage or antique lighting, we would always suggest it is tested and fitted by a qualified electrician.

Especially in the Art Nouveau period, and later in the Art Deco era, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros, Albert Dammouse, François Décorchemont, Amalric Walter, Émile Gallé, and George Despret.
