Vintage French Rise & Fall Counterbalance Ceiling Light Opaline Glass Shade

Vintage French Rise & Fall Counterbalance Ceiling Light Opaline Glass Shade. The round opaline glass shade is in a coolie style and casts a soft and welcoming glow. Its porcelain counterweight allows the shade to glide smoothly up and down on original pulleys, letting you adjust the height with ease. The light is wired with twin core lighting wire while the brass fitting and bulb holder add a warm vintage detail. The shade is secured in place with three brass screws. The origianal celing rose is in white porcelain. The light is fitted with French braided twin core wiring and the bulb fitting is for a B22 bayonet bulb. The glass shade is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are some light manufacturing blemishes and minor imperfections within the glass, consistent with its age and production methods. The porcelain components are also in good vintage condition, with no major chips or cracks. They display age-related marks, surface blemishes, and minor nibbles around the pulley wheels, and some crackle and discolouration, all of which contribute to the authentic character of the piece.
