French Brass + Alabaster Mosaic Pendant, 1900s

$17,800.00

Sourced from a private collection is this French pendant from the early 1900s that reflects the transitional moment at the turn of the century.

Suspended by three brass chains, the form gathers into a shallow alabaster bowl, its surface built from a mosaic of irregular stone fragments. The pieces shift in tone from deep umber to pale cream, creating a natural variation that feels both deliberate and organic. When lit, the alabaster softens, allowing light to pass through in a muted, atmospheric glow.

The brass framework provides structure without interruption. A simple canopy anchors the fixture above, while the chains introduce a vertical rhythm that contrasts with the breadth of the bowl below. Small gilt details punctuate the surface, offering moments of refinement within the larger composition.

Hung in an entry, it establishes tone. Centered above a table, it gathers the room inward. In a hallway, it extends a quiet continuity of light.

A fixture that does more than illuminate—shaping atmosphere through material, scale, and the subtle interplay between shadow and glow.

Accepts four E12 candelabra base light bulbs.
