Vintage French wavy opaline glass ceiling light shade coolie white + fittings

A beautiful original vintage French glass coolie shade in a folded fabric skirt shape.  Made from white opaline milk glass with a clear fused glass edge, it probably dates from the 1950s.  We have completed it with an antiqued brass gallery and new brass bulb holder.  Electric cable is not included but is available separately in our ebay store, along with period style ceramic ceiling roses.

We search antiques fairs and shops in France to source these and similar shades.  They would have been largely hand made by draping molten glass over a mould.  We think they would look absolutely beautiful in just about any room, and also in a shop or café.  

In excellent condition, with no chips or cracks but please note that minor imperfections are inevitable with items of this age and which have been manufactured in small batches with a lot of hand finishing.  

Measures approx. 28.5cm diameter x 7.5cm max height.  Bulbholder is bayonet fitting.  Electric flex and bulb are not included - this listing is for the shade, the brass gallery and the bulbholder.
