About the Item

1930s French Art Deco Alabaster Plafonnier – 40 cm – Staple Repaired & Fully Restored Exceptional white alabaster bowl plafonnier, c. 1920s–1930s, with the desirable scalloped ‘lotus’ or ‘petal’ form. Carved from solid alabaster with soft grey and blue natural veining. When lit, the entire bowl glows — the stone becomes translucent and the veining turns ethereal. Diameter 40 cm Solid white alabaster with classic Art Deco fluted detailing. Beautiful natural grain visible when lit. Fully restored to museum standard. Historic fissures stabilized with traditional copper staples — the same honest conservation technique used 100+ years ago. The staples are a feature, not a flaw, and highly prized by collectors. Minor age-related surface marks and chips consistent with age. Professionally rewired to modern safety standards. Retains the _original_ brass and porcelain E27 bulb holders — increasingly rare to find intact. 3-light fitting gives strong, even illumination. New period-style gold braided textile cord with decorative monkey-fist knots. This is proper, early 20th century craftsmanship. The staple repairs prove it was valuable enough to save generations ago, and the original brass and porcelain bulb holders means it hasn’t been gutted or modernized. A serious piece for dining rooms, hallways, or bedrooms. Ready to install Responsible complementary worldwide shipping

23.3"D. Monumental Art Deco Volterra Alabaster Bowl Chandelier, Italy circa 1920

23.3"D. Monumental Art Deco Volterra Alabaster Bowl Chandelier, Italy circa 1920

Located in Lisse, NL

Monumental, rare and breathtakingly beautiful Italian Art Deco alabaster bowl chandelier, circa 1920. This spectacular 4-light alabaster plafonnier is the kind of statement piece that can transform an entire room. With its impressive diameter of 23.3 inches, this is not just another alabaster chandelier, but a truly monumental and highly decorative centrepiece. The hand-carved alabaster bowl is richly decorated all around with deeply sculpted acanthus leaves, elegant ribbed panels and wonderful pearl-like beading. The warm amber-ochre accents in the deeper carved details give the design great depth and bring the relief carving beautifully to life. Also when unlit, this rare chandelier has the presence of a work of art, but once illuminated the translucent alabaster creates the warm, atmospheric and almost magical glow for which the finest Italian alabaster lighting is so highly loved. This fixture is very likely from the renowned alabaster tradition of Volterra, Tuscany, the historic centre of Italian alabaster craftsmanship. The bowl also bears a rare original round inset metal maker’s seal(picture 3) together with the hand-inscribed number 8152. The seal appears to show a stylised rearing horse or Pegasus above a monogram. These original markings are seldom found on alabaster lighting of this period and make this already impressive chandelier even more interesting and collectible. Large alabaster bowl chandeliers from the Art Deco period are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in this size, quality and condition. With its palace-size proportions, sculptural design and warm natural stone, this chandelier would look amazing in an entrance hall, dining room, stairwell, boutique hotel, grand salon or high-end interior project. This antique Italian light fixture has been professionally restored and rewired. It currently comes as a beautiful 4-light chandelier and the original alabaster bowl is mounted with chains and an alabaster canopy. The height can be shortened or extended to suit your home or project. This fixture will also arrive wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage. The alabaster has beautiful natural veining and some age-related lines, all consistent with antique natural stone and visible in the photos. This only adds to the authentic character and charm of this rare Art Deco work of beauty. If you like the rarity, size, quality and decorative power of this monumental Italian alabaster chandelier...
