Description: A very beautiful vintage original French pleated opaline glass coolie light shade with a fused clear glass trim. Probably dating from the 1920s or 30s, we have completed it with an antiqued brass gallery and a new bulb holder with cord grip. These period vintage shades were originally hung from high ceilings in old kitchens and parlours in France, sometimes on the end of rise and fall suspensions. They were also attached to swan-neck arms and used as wall lights. Typically French, they look gorgeous in any room. In great condition. As with all glass shades from this era, when the shades were largely hand made, please expect slight manufacturing imperfections such as black firing specks, bubbles, differences in colour intensity etc. These shades also often have nibbles around the rim where the gallery is fixed, invisible when in place. For us, this makes each shade special and unique, and we hope you agree. Measures approx. 25cm diameter and 5.5cm high. Bulb holder is bayonet fitting. Flex is not included.
