Vintage industrial style pendant light? Chandelier with brass design and antique mother-of-pearl discs

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage-style pendant light with a complex and sculptural structure, visible in the image. This design piece is distinguished by a composition blending metal elements with a patinated brass finish and several large mother-of-pearl discs mounted on the front. The assembly is suspended by a sturdy chain, attached to a painted wooden ceiling, forming a chandelier with a strong character, typical of the revisited industrial style. The oval discs have an ivory hue, with natural nuances and apparent signs of wear, evoking the antique mother-of-pearl mentioned in the keywords.

The metal structure, with its curved and geometric lines, is reminiscent of utilitarian objects repurposed as lighting, an aesthetic sought after in contemporary decoration. The discs are distributed असymmetrically around the central axis, creating a voluminous effect and playing with light. The assembly is suspended at an incline, emphasizing the sculptural aspect of the piece. No marking or signature is visible on the exposed side.

The contrast between the patinated metal and the slightly iridescent mother-of-pearl gives this chandelier a retro yet refined look. The object, by its design, is part of a decorative trend that values the blend of natural and industrial materials. The choice of mother-of-pearl for the diffusers adds a touch of elegance and authenticity, while the chain and metal fixings reinforce the workshop or vintage loft spirit.

The pendant is presented in a contemporary interior with white walls and marble flooring, highlighting its lines and finish. The visible elements show no exposed wires or bulbs, suggesting a careful design and assembly conceived for a harmonious decorative rendering.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible wear on the mother-of-pearl discs (traces, signs of age), patina on the metal. The structure appears complete and stable on the visible side, with no major chips or noticeable deformation on the exposed part.

Did you know? Mother-of-pearl, also known as "nacre," has been used in lighting manufacturing since the late 19th century for its reflective properties and warm hue. Used in both jewelry and decoration, it diffuses a soft and natural light, particularly prized in Art Deco style pendants and vintage creations inspired by natural materials.
