Chapelle was a very famous blacksmith from Nancy, France is well known for his forged iron. A large and very rare 1920-30 French art deco lamp in wrought iron by Léon Chapelle. This famous blacksmith from Nancy France is well known for his forged iron animals. Less known because hardly ever on the market are his vases chandeliers and lamps. Léon Chapelle often made brass details on his iron fixtures like we can find in productions of other Nancy based workshops like Majorelle or Dubois. All these successful descendants of the école de Nancy nowadays make high prices at auction houses.
This highly organic lamp base with metallic patina is a remarkable work.
The lamp is in perfect condition, equally the pate de verre shade without any chips, with some air bubbles inherent in the manufacturing processes of that time. No chips or cracks to the glass only minor signs of age appropriate wear.
Recently rewired with new cloth covered twisted cord and is equipped with E14 socket that can hold any LED bulb appropriate for select destination standards. For use the USA a 2 pronged plug is necessary, for EU wiring is included.

Léon Chapelle was a wrought-iron craftsman based in Nancy, France, active during the French Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. He combined hand-forged iron fixtures with blown glass shades made specifically for him by Muller Frères, often in richer colors than Muller's standard production.
His work included copper detailing on iron fixtures, comparable to other Nancy workshops such as Majorelle and Dubois.
