Gilbert Poillerat, Important chandelier
Gilbert Poillerat (1902-1988)
Important chandelier
Circa 1943
This ceiling lamp in wrought-iron with a gilded and canon de fusil patina is shaped with an oval pond decorated with gadroon motifs and holding twelve cone-shaped lights.
From a twisted central stem linked to the pond, four curved parts with coilings hold an ovoid structure where the four bended plexiglass parts are set.
An important ring is overhung with a square stem going until the "cache-bélière" (the part which hides the hook on the ceiling).
This piece is truly exceptional thanks its proportions, its quality and the care given to all the details.
