Maison Arlus Modernist Chandelier

sold

Elegant modernist French chandelier by Maison Arlus from the 1950’s. Composed of black lacquered enamel arms with solid brass details which holds six satine white glass globes.

Together with companies like Disderot, Lunel and Rispal, the Paris based firm Arlus had a strong influence on the modernization of French lighting design during the 1950s. The Arlus models were obviously rooted in the French Art Deco tradition on the one hand, but show clear similarities with designs of Italian counterparts like Stilnovo and Arredoluce as well.
