Alarge french 1930 art decochandelier in nickel plated solid brass orbronzeby the famousParis based companyofCharles Ranc.It holds six opalescent cups made by Ezan aFrench glassfactory from the town of Ezanville near Paris. Famous for its production of opalescent glasses.. semi-crystal to be precise. With beautiful tones of milky blue or warm amber depending weather light falls on it or shines through. The shades are unsigned.. this model always is. The mounting is markedRC on the inside of many its components. Charles Ranc was a designer and producer of bronze lighting starting his company in 1909 he became very successful around 1925 with his gilt bronze lamps and chandeliers with coloured Schneider glass paste shades. 1930 onwards his style became less classical and for this more modernist art deco look he mostly used Ezanshades either in ordinary molded-pressed glass or in the bluish opalescent version as on this superb chandelier. Ithas a height of 96 cm (37-3/4\") and is 73 cm wide (28-3/4\"). The shades have a diameter of 20 cm. Itis inexcellentcondition.

French lamps and wiring
Art deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
