Description
Rare ceramic and wrought iron chandelier by Antoine Dubois,Belgium.
Diameter 90 cm - height fixture 76 cm - total height 96 cm - weight 10 kg.
13 generations of this family have been around since the 1960s
actively engaged in: turning, pouring, drying, baking, glazing and
painting all kinds of earthenware.
At the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century the
names of François and his son Antoine Dubois.
Father François went to work in 1882 as a young porcelain painter in the well-known
plateel factory from # Wasmuël.
Ten years later he founded this region with his son and teacher-artist
Emile Lombart, the faience series of # Saint-Ghislain.
In 1909 father and son move to #Anderlecht (#Brussels) where they stay until 1917
remained active and especially beautiful hand painted earthenware tile pictures
produced. The death of Mrs. Dubois in 1917 and a devastating event
fire in 1919 ... the family decided to return to Mons.
In 1920, after the death of father François, Antoine founded a simple limited partnership with three other partners. With the production brand: 'Mons Poterie Belgique or in Mons Pottery Belgium'.
In 1925 it changed its name and became: 's.a. La Céramique Montoise '.
The company then employed around a hundred people. The production consisted of tile panels, fireplace fittings, wall plates, vases, bowls, coffee and tea sets,
smoking tools etc. The most common painting style was that of the Gouda style. It is also good to know that other companies such as 'les Editions Nerva', mainly known for its crackle sculptures, made use of the know-how of this company.
The pieces are usually signed below with C.M. MOUNTAINS and a mini terril, sporadically one also finds the mark: "C.B.-Ären Plateel".
The name A.Dubois is often found in the decor.
In my opinion, they testify to a high artistic and traditional quality ... unfortunately they are difficult to find for collectors.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
