Rectangular Billiard Style Glass Rod and Nickel Chandelier, P. Fargette, 1940

About the Item

This unique rectangular shaped modernist chandelier, circa 1940, is attributed to P. Fargette. A French chandelier of billiard style and Industrial Design with an elongated demilune edge profile, stepped flat frosted bottom glass and sides formed of stacked glass rods which give a ridged appearance. Twin rods lower the chandelier from a protracted demilune shaped nickel-plated bronze canopy which invokes the shape of the chandelier. The chandelier is accented on either end by an eight pointed star, a favorite design motif prominent in the 1940s. Pyrex glass rods as seen on the sides of the chandelier were first used in this way in 1944 by Frank Lloyd Wright in his controversial Johnson Wax Building. Newly rewired for US specs / ten sockets can be custom lengthened/ shortened or plated for a surcharge. Great over a dining room table, a kitchen island, a billiard table, a long hallway.
