Made in France in the late 1920's early 1930's, this chandelier is from Maynadier , signed, Pierre Maynadier had a manufactory producing high quality art deco lighting during the interbellum in Paris (25 rue Saint-Sébastien). In the late 30s they started to make lighting in pressed brass in a modernist style. It is the last time in France that it was possible to produce and offer pieces of this quality; the mass production of the 1950's was just around the corner, and the page was turned on small ateliers, to make way for the age of cost saving. It will fit any modernist interior, and can bring a warmer touch to a pure Eames style furniture set.; Size H.39 x D.24 , center globe 13 , to the first canopy 14 second canopy 24 in. , signed , tulip 5.5 x 4.5 in , good condition, chain can be shortened if needed. Rewired for US standard.; about Manadier , Pierre Maynadier (Paris, 1888–1948) began his career as a draughtsman before training as a metalworker and specialising in decorative lighting. After serving with distinction in the First World War, he established himself in Paris, acquiring a workshop at 12 rue Saint-Gilles in 1924 and developing his craft under the name "fers d'art appliqués aux luminaires." He later moved to 36 rue Amelot, then in 1934 acquired the bronze lighting manufacture of Marcel Fritsch at 25 rue Saint-Sébastien. Throughout his career Maynadier designed most of his own fixtures. For the glasswork he turned almost exclusively to Muller Frères Lunéville, for whom he commissioned exclusive models. Shades by Dégué, Schneider, and Daum also appear in his pieces. On his death in 1948 his son took over the firm, which continued into the 1960s.; For questions or concerns please contact Jean, at 310 994 6009
