10 cast iron wall lights, based on models from the Pont Alexandre III

About the Item

10 cast iron wall lights with bronze patina made from models from the Pont Alexandre III in Paris. These lanterns were designed in the 20th century as part of the Schlumpf Museum decoration project. In 1957, the Schlumpf brothers bought a 19th century textile factory in Mulhouse to display their car collection there. Thus created, the Schlumpf Museum remained open until 1977. From March 7 of the same year, the museum was occupied by unions, launching the highly publicized "Schlumpf affair". Today managed by the Association of the National Automobile Museum, the Musée National de l'Automobile - Schlumpf collection museum houses the largest collection of cars in the world. This collection is lit by 800 street lamps based on the models of the Pont Alexandre III created at the request of Fritz Schlumpf. Made by Lacarrière et Cie, the lanterns of the Pont Alexandre III are among the most famous in Paris. Founded in the early 19th century, Lacarrière et Cie is a company that has produced many candelabras in Paris and has participated in no less than twelve universal exhibitions, winning many prizes.
