French Art Nouveau Orange, White and Blue Glass Pendant Light by Noverdy, 1920s

About the Item

French Art Nouveau orange, white, and blue Pâte de Verre glass pendant light fixture, signed ”Noverdy France” by Jean Noverdy. This delightful French Art Nouveau period pendant light features a 'Pâte de Verre' glass bowl in white, blue, and orange tones. Signed ”Noverdy France”, this beautiful pendant light is suspended from an elegant hand-crafted brass mount with fasteners in the shape of flowers. One socket for E27 (E26) size light bulb. Dimensions: Diameter 36 cm / 14.17 in, height circa 53 cm / 20.86 in. In good condition with slight signs of aging and use. The signature has faded a little. The light fixture is in complete working order, but as with all vintage or antique lighting, we would always suggest it is installed by a qualified electrician. The beautiful multicolored glass bowl was made in the “Pâte de Verre” technique, used in the production of multicolored glass: a cold-formed paste of glass powder and dyes is filled in a refractory mold and then fired in a muffle furnace, wherein the glass melts into the desired shape. To achieve polychrome color effects, the process is repeated with other colors. The production of Pâte de Verre is a slow process that requires a lot of manual skill to avoid bubbles, cloudiness, and cracks in the cooling process. The technique allows for accurate shapes and accurate color gradations in the workpiece, unlike any other glass processing technique. The technique was already known in ancient Rome and Egypt. Especially in the Art Nouveau period, and later in the Art Deco era, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros, Albert Dammouse, François Décorchemont, Amalric Walter, Émile Gallé and George Despret. The Crystal Daum, a French manufacturer of commercial glassware, produced numerous works from Pâte de Verre.
