art deco slip shade chandelier
Art Deco bronze chandelier with five original oversized calcite/blue slipper shades.
The beginning of the 20th century saw a variety of styles in lighting fixtures and their detailing. Art Deco lighting was electric in its combination of traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and material. Shell shaped slipper shades were commonly seen in Art Deco style lighting fixtures of the time. Highly symmetrical detailing suggests foliage designs also featured on the shades and metal of the lighting fixture. These shades were commonly made of translucent colored glass. Place this fixture in a central space where those passing under can look up and see the Art Deco detailing and illumination of these soft glass shades.
