French Art Deco Alabaster and Brass Three-Light Pendant Chandelier, 1920

About the Item

A beautifully veined French Art Deco alabaster chandelier with ever-changing natural stone patterns and elegant brass detailing. Elegant French Art Deco three-light pendant chandelier crafted in alabaster and brass, France, circa 1920. This refined suspension light features a broad alabaster bowl distinguished by exceptionally expressive natural veining. Rather than presenting a uniform appearance, the stone reveals continuously shifting patterns from different angles—soft, cloudy transitions on one side and stronger dark veining on another—giving the chandelier a dynamic and highly decorative presence. When illuminated, the alabaster develops a warm, atmospheric glow that highlights the layered character of the stone and reveals subtle depth throughout the surface. The effect feels organic and almost painterly, making each viewing angle slightly different from the next. The bowl is suspended from elegant brass chains and decorative brass fasteners and completed with a matching alabaster canopy, creating a balanced composition characteristic of French Art Deco lighting from the early twentieth century. Fitted with three new porcelain sockets for E27 (E26) size light bulbs. A versatile medium-large size that works beautifully above a dining table, in an entry hall, bedroom, or living room while maintaining a light visual presence. Condition Good condition with slight signs of aging and use - gentle patina on brass parts consistent with age. Natural age-related characteristics of alabaster are present and contribute to the authentic appearance of the piece. Dimensions Height: ca. 46 cm / 18.1 in Diameter: ca. 45 cm / 17.7 in Installation note This chandelier is suitable for modern interiors, but we recommend it be installed by a qualified electrician.
