Exceptional two-headed wrought iron lamp, signed Schneider, representing a stylized plant decoration (vine or ivy), typical of French Art Deco. The frame presents fine ironwork with a carefully restored patina: stripping, anti-corrosion treatment, then re-patination in the old style to preserve the authenticity of the metal. The blown glass tulips, two-tone yellow and brown, are signed Schneider with an original gold paint, enhancing the elegance of the whole. This rare piece has benefited from entirely new electrification, guaranteeing both authenticity and safety. Dimensions: Height: 56 cm Width: 46 cm Depth: 18 cm Rare collector's item, rigorously restored, ideal for antique lovers and demanding collectors, which will bring a unique and refined touch to any interior. A Bit of History: LaVerrerie Schneider – French Art Deco Excellence Founded in 1913 by brothers Charles and Ernest Schneider, Verrerie Schneider quickly established itself as one of the leading names in art glass from the late Art Nouveau and emerging Art Deco periods. Through its two iconic lines – Schneider, for prestige pieces, and Le Verre Français (often signed Charder) for a wider distribution – the house successfully combined technical innovation, flamboyant colors, and formal elegance. Each creation demonstrates exceptional expertise: layered glass, acid-etched engraving, stylized decoration inspired by nature or geometric patterns. The most sought-after works include vases, bowls, jewelry, lamps, and sconces, true icons of 1920s Decorative Art. Even today, Schneider pieces attract collectors and aesthetes from around the world with their rarity, refinement, and expressive power.
