This Neo-Classical painted glass plafonnier light shade dates from circa 1920. The oval form comprises opaque white glass with original brass fittings and later hanging chains and ceiling attachment. The surface features hand-painted neoclassical floral swags, drapery and floral garlands in green, blue, pink and yellow tones. Wear and marks appear commensurate with age, with some of the painted decoration rubbed off in places. The dimensions measure 18 cm high, 36 cm wide and 36 cm deep. Suitable for interior lighting applications, the plafonnier works in traditional or contemporary settings such as bedrooms or halls to provide a vintage aesthetic. No electrics are included with the piece.

FAQs

A plafonnier is a flush-fit or shallow-suspended ceiling light bowl that emerged in popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to diffuse light evenly across a room.

These fixtures typically feature frosted, opaline, or etched glass bowls hand-decorated with enamel paint, suspended by brass or bronze link chains.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-painted brushwork rather than modern transfer prints, aged patina on brass suspension fittings, and minor wear around the hanging holes.

Positioning the shade in hallways, dressing rooms, or dining spaces introduces classical architectural detail, working effectively alongside period features or neutral minimalist decor.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or immersing painted areas in water, as moisture can compromise delicate cold-painted or enamel details.
