Charles Schneider (1881 - 1953) A French master glassmaker of the Art Deco period, student of Jean Daum in Nancy and creator of the art glass label ‘Le Verre français’, with his brother Ernest Schneider (1877-1937). Ernest and Charles Schneider grew up in Nancy. In 1903, Ernest Schneider (1877-1937) was hired by the commercial management of the Daum frères factory. He got his younger brother Charles, who had been trained in sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy and then in Paris; to propose vase and glass paste projects. This collaboration continued until 1911. They founded their own company, Verreries Schneider, in Épinay-sur-Seine in 1913 and went on to sell their creations all over the world.

FAQs

A plafonnier is a ceiling-suspended bowl light fitting that gained widespread popularity during the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s. Designed to emit a warm, diffused ambient light, French Art Deco examples frequently feature blown acid-etched or mottled art glass mounted in decorative metal frameworks.

Art Deco plafonniers typically feature hand-blown multi-layered or mottled glass bowls, sometimes decorated using cameo techniques or acid etching. The suspension mountings and ceiling roses were generally cast in wrought iron, bronze, or gilt metal.

Authentic pieces from the 1920s often feature maker signatures etched or blown into the glass, such as Schneider or Charder, alongside period-appropriate wear to the metalwork. The weight and variation in hand-blown glass, combined with original oxidized or gilded metal patination, distinguish original pieces from modern reproductions.

An Art Deco plafonnier functions effectively as a focal ambient light fixture in hallways, dining spaces, or living areas. Its warm glass tones contrast cleanly with neutral wall palettes while bringing subtle geometric structure to contemporary lighting schemes.

Glass shades should be dusted regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and cleaned carefully using a damp cloth with mild diluted soap. Avoid applying abrasive chemical cleaners to gilt or bronze metal fittings, and ensure the fixture is inspected and installed by a qualified electrician.
