An Art Deco Émile-jacques Ruhlmann Pendant Light

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Poirot Art Deco
Description

An Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann pendant light.

This Art Deco pendant light, was designed by Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, solely for the ‘Great Hall’ in the ‘Galerie Le Bon Marché’, Paris, in 1924.

The light retains is original chrome finish, with some light wear commensurate with age. Unfortunately it has a crack in the holophane shade, shown in the numbered pictures 1 and 2. The numbered picture 3 shows that the crack is almost hidden when aligned with one of the chrome fixings. Picture numbered 4, shows a replacement Perspex shade to the original. All things considered it remains an impressive light, by one of the leading French Art Deco designers of the period.

Another example of this light (appearing in better condition) is currently on the market by another dealer for £2400.

This light has been rewired and PAT tested.

Height: 70cm

Diameter of shade: 41cm

FAQs

French Art Deco lighting from the 1920s and 1930s is defined by geometric symmetry, clean structural lines, and industrial materials. Designs often incorporated nickel-plated metal, frosted or moulded glass, and stepped silhouettes influenced by modern architecture.

Fixtures during this period were commonly constructed from bronze, brass, nickel, or chrome-plated metal paired with pressed, acid-etched, or moulded frosted glass shades. The combination of polished metalwork and translucent glass optimised light diffusion.

Authentic period lighting features heavy cast fittings, original screw threads, and age-appropriate patination or surface oxidisation on the metalwork. Moulded glass shades frequently bear foundry marks or signatures near the rim or mounting collar.

An Art Deco pendant light can be positioned over a dining area, kitchen island, or central hallway to create a focal point. Its geometric structure pairs effectively with clean modern lines, minimalist architecture, or classic period features.

Glass shades should be cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth. Metal components with nickel or chrome plating require gentle dusting and dry wiping, avoiding abrasive polishes that can wear down original surface coatings.
