This René Lalique ceiling lighting from 1920 belongs to the Art Deco style and consists of pressed moulded frosted glass in a light mauve colour. The hemispherical bowl features relief decoration of large dahlia blossoms interspersed with large fern-like leaves wrapping around the exterior, with a uniform frosted texture across the surface and light surface scratches visible near the upper rim. Measuring 16 cm high, 20.5 cm wide and 14 cm deep, it provides a distinctive period decorative element. Originally designed in 1921 as both a bowl and a plafonnier light fitting, this piece operates as a hanging ceiling light using the supplied hanging chain. The base carries an engraved R. Lalique signature alongside the catalogue number 2459, corresponding to its documentation in the Marcilhac catalogue before production ceased after 1947. This compact ceiling light suits a hallway, living room or bedroom setting in a home today, adding period Art Deco character to the interior scheme.

FAQs

A plafonnier is a bowl-shaped ceiling light fixture designed to diffuse light, typically suspended or mounted flush against the ceiling.

Art Deco shades were primarily constructed from press-moulded lead glass, incorporating frosted, opalescent, or acid-etched finishes to soften light diffusion.

Authentic pieces generally feature molded or acid-etched maker signatures, distinct high-relief sculptural detailing, and precise finishing techniques characteristic of early twentieth-century glassworks.

Mount the fixture in an entryway, hallway, or dining space to provide diffuse ambient lighting while serving as a sculptural architectural accent.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean gently using warm water with mild non-abrasive soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that might damage surface patination or frosting.
