Guillaumin et Bachmann

A beautiful French 1930 art deco pendant in nickel plated bronze or solid brass with a globe in clear frosted pressed-glass. This ceiling lamp with its richly decorated mount was created by Guillaumin & Bachmann. A Parisian company during the interbellum producing high quality modern bronze lighting fixtures. After the first worldwar they took over the maison Tissot et Hamel. They had their store at 13 rue Sedaine and a workshop around the corner at 16 rue Saint-Sabin. During the financial crisis around 1930 the lighting company établissements Vilbert (72 rue Amelot) took a large share in the company. I found no traces of either businesses in French company registers of the 40s.

The pendant on offer holds a beautiful glass ball created by Verreries des Hanots. This model, refered to as boule aux turbans in the old Hanots product catalogs, is always unsigned. It was used by numerous lighting firms to create lamps and chandeliers with. For instance the large company Hettier et Vincent. The pendant has a total height of 68 cm (26-3/4") and the shade has a diameter of 25 cm (,8 inches). The lamp is in excellent condition. I have replated and patinated the mount and it is rewired with an American standard socket. For European countries I will place a E27 one.

Free worldwide shipping. The pendant will be shipped with full insurance by priority airmail.

French lamps and wiring

Art deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
