Huge Early 20th Century French Holophane Light

About the Item

Huge Early 20th Century French Holophane Light One of the largest French Holophane lanterns we have had the pleasure to uncover. Weighting close to 30kg and standing 30 inches tall, this enormous light is quite a statement piece. Made from cast iron, copper, and glass. Still has its original green paint and made from sectioned glass Holophane shades. The central section opens so you can gain access to the light fitting, this is quite a unique piece of interior lighting and would look amazing hung in a large hallway entrance / room. Size in inches: H 30” x W 16” x D 16” Period: 1920 - 1930 Material: Cast iron, Copper & Glass Origin: French Condition: Fair Condition Report 1. Worn surface area rust and fading of painted areas. 2. A few chips and losses to glass as shown. 3. Light staining of glass 4. Would need to be professionally rewired to suit your needs. 5. This item is heavy, consider this when fitting. 6. A chain and hanging hooks would need to be used to fit. Completely solid in structure and form, a deep natural patina across the whole item, an artifact that dates over 100 years, A chip to the lip, top gallery area as shown these are fine even when lit as shown in the photos provided. The rust covers the cast metal gallery. Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas of these pieces, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase. For multiple years we have sold antique and vintage items globally, please expect our items to show relevant age and natural wear, Items are only restored due to breaks and loss, and we always stipulate this in our condition report. We strongly encourage all our clients who buy lighting from us, to get the item fitted by only a professional electrical engineer.
