Arlus Mid-Century Modern Chandelier, Brass & Glass, France, 1950s

About the Item

An outstanding example of French Mid-Century Modern lighting, this elegant six-light chandelier was produced by Arlus, Paris, during the 1950s. Its sculptural composition combines black lacquered metal with warm brass accents, creating the refined architectural aesthetic that made French lighting of the period internationally admired. The chandelier retains its six original ribbed cylindrical glass shades, an increasingly rare feature, as these delicate shades were frequently replaced after decades of use. Founded in Paris, Arlus became one of the leading names in French decorative lighting during the postwar era. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the company gained recognition for creating sophisticated chandeliers, sconces, and pendants distinguished by clean lines, premium materials, and exceptional craftsmanship. Alongside celebrated manufacturers such as Lunel and the Italian firm Stilnovo, Arlus helped define the elegant modernism that continues to inspire today's interior designers and collectors. The dynamic asymmetrical silhouette gives this chandelier a striking visual presence while remaining remarkably balanced. Brass details contrast beautifully with the satin-black structure, while the textured glass diffuses a warm, inviting light. Its timeless design complements both authentic Mid-Century Modern interiors and contemporary luxury spaces. Finding an Arlus chandelier that still retains its complete set of original shades is becoming increasingly uncommon, making this example particularly desirable for collectors of vintage French design. Dimensions: Height: 20.7 in. (52.5 cm) Width: 39.8 in. (101 cm) Depth: 13 in. (33 cm) The chandelier is professionally wired for your country, including the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and more, and is fully LED compatible. A sophisticated and authentic piece of 1950s French Mid-Century lighting, ideal for collectors of Arlus, Lunel, Stilnovo, and exceptional European modern design.
