A beautiful French coolie light shade in white opaline milk glass with a crimped 'piecrust' edge, probably dating from the 1950s. A vintage original, which we have completed with an antiqued brass gallery and bulb holder. Electric flex is available separately in our ebay store, along with period style ceramic ceiling roses. These period vintage shades were originally hung from high ceilings in old kitchens and parlours in France, sometimes on the end of rise and fall suspensions. Typically French, they look gorgeous in any room. We currently have two of these available, one being slightly larger than the other. If they are sufficiently spaced apart, they'd work well as a pair.
As these are original items from an earlier manufacturing era, and probably made with a lot of hand finishing, please expect slight flaws and imperfections. Nearly all these old shades have nibbles around the neck, covered completely when the gallery is in place.
One shade measures approx. 25cm diameter and 7cm high, and the other measures 26cm diameter and 6.5cm high. The bulb holder is a B22 bayonet fitting.
