(A) This chandelier has such an
elegant and graceful design! Refinished in a soft and luscious
brushed nickle, it easily qualifies as "jewelry for the
home." Excellent proportions at 30 inches long, 21 wide.
The shades are unsigned but by Donna, a Parisian maker; their
design, in floral and star motifs, has exceptional relief. $3700.

(B) Hanging 33 1/2 long and about
26 wide, this fixture has excellent proportions and presence.
The metalwork, in terms of both design and execution, is superior.
The signed Degue shades are about 1/2 inch thick, correspondingly
substantial, and "softly" geometric Art Deco in style.
$3700. (e-mail

(C) Zee King Kong of zee Schneider
chandeliers! Most handsome hand-wrought iron work throughout
the metal, a massively heavy and brilliant bowl with matching
shades... Great scale, at 32 long, 32 diameter. $4300. (e-mail

(D) This usually-configured Deco-era
chandelier has a lovely simplicity about it. The canopy is solid
brass, as is the apparatus which holds the three unsigned "Donna"
(a Parisian chandelier company) shades. Violet-colored ropes
connect the two. Hangs at 31 long, about 15 across. The price?
$2300. (e-mail

(E) A Degue with four central plaques,
two longer than the others (as intended, you know how the French
love to keep us guessing -- "Ah, is it missing two longer
panels? Why, it's not symmetrical!!!) It measures 34 long,
about 21 wide, and has just been nickeled (polished bright finish).
Six bulbs (two in the center), each capable of 60 watts. Very
cool. Smashing geometrical design throughout this beauty, as
we're used to seeing with superior Degues. $4400. (e-mail

(G) A Degue with unusual and beckoning
ironwork, classically geometric Degue designs on the shades.
It hangs 32 long, and is about 25 wide. Only $2900. (e-mail

(H) I've alway liked this configuration,
doubtless (another) French invention, with the fourth light at
the top. This fixture is good for a shorter ceiling, having a
length of 22 1/2 inches, an approximate diameter of 16. The metal
is freshly refinished brushed nickel, which has a lovely sheen
and subtlety to it. $2900. (e-mail

(I) Another candidate for a shorter
ceiling, especially since this chandelier has chain links which
can be removed. As shown, it has a drop of 24 inches, and an
unusually ample span of about 26. Finished in brushed nickle,
fitted with six beautifully decorated peach glass shades.
Sorry, Mary Anne snapped this
beauty up, after she raided another fixture for different shades!
Does that show you how accommodating we are? SOLD!!

(J) Twenty-eight inches (long)
of French Modernist geometry and beauty, not to mention top-notch
construction. It's about twelve inches across. In its original
nickel finish (over solid brass), in superb condition. The glass
tubes are free-form acid-etched; unfortunately one has a two-inch
crack on one end. Tubular bulbs work nicely in this fixture (not
shown here, however!). $3700. (e-mail

(K) The restoration and rewiring
of this "metal sculpture with red" was enough to put
me well over the edge... but, look what we've got now! I've heard
tell that the red in glass is the result of the introduction
of GOLD into the process... The new brushed nickle finish is
sublime. "Jewelry for the home," that's all there is
to it! Dimensions: 29 long, 17 wide. Just $3500. (e-mail
