Vintage French opaline glass coolie pink piecrust ceiling light shade & fittings

Note: Just the darker of these two shades remains - see final picture.

A beautiful French coolie light shade in pale pink opaline milk glass with a crimped 'piecrust' edge, probably dating from the 1950s.  The pale pink glass is fused on to white opaline beneath. 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 and darker than the other (see final picture). 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.

Measurements are approx. 24.5cm diameter and 7cm high.  The bulb holder is a B22 bayonet fitting.
