Maison Charles Coolie Lampshade in Matt & Polished Nickel

About the Item

We have reduced the price to sell, due to increased costs of selling on this platform we are closing our storefront on 1st Dibs at the end of Feb 2025 This is a beautiful pair of hand crafted lampshades by the renowned lighting manufacturer Maison Charles et Fils in Saint Denis Paris. Handmade but casting the internal gimble fitting and the top and base ring in solid Bronze and then crafting the lampshade from two sheets or brass which has hand folded seems and welded to the top and bottom ring. The shade is then finished in Matt Nickel to the inside and outside of the metal shade before the base gimble is attached by 3 Bronze screws that have been hand turned on a lathe and Nickel Plated. The lamps shade was originally designed by Laurent Charles for their stunning Quasar table lamp but can be used on any lamp or wall sconce with an E27 bulb holder - we are able to supply convertor rings to be used with E14 lamp holders also Please note that the shade are very slightly imperfectly round having been knocked over and one has a scratch from general use, but otherwise in immaculate condition. This is reflected in the price listed compared to having them made to order from Maison Charles, which today would be in excess of eighteen hundred euros each shade!
