About the Item

- An outstanding and extremely rare large caged Holophane pendant with original chain and ceiling rose, France circa 1920. - Heavy brass cage housing two sections of prismatic glass, both stamped Holophane. The cage is hinged around the rim in order to open up the prismatic dish underneath and change the light bulb. - The elongated brass gallery is heavily patinated and contains a height adjustable bulb holder. A beautiful piece of early French Holophane lighting. - Pendant height 45cm, Width 32cm, Depth 32cm. - Rewired in braided flex and PAT tested. Holophane Originally founded in 1893 the hallmark of Holophane luminaires was the borosilicate glass reflector, which acted as a prism providing a combination of uplight and downlight, to illuminate any environment evenly without creating dark spots or glare. As a result Holophane lights were frequently used in churches, as street-lights and to illuminate older factories and industrial spaces.
