French Cherub Pendant Light with Vaseline Glass Shade, circa 1900–1920
Description:
A charming French pendant light dating from the early 20th century, circa 1900–1920, featuring a cast metal cherub figure suspended from a decorative twisted stem with ribbon motif. The metalwork has been finished in later applied gold leaf, lending a soft gilt appearance.
