Description
Saint Louis crystal lamp, signed, handblown, 1950`s ca, French
This vintage table lamp has been gently cleaned while respecting the age patina. It is newly rewired & earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use. It has a new silver metal lamp holder, new grey silk cable, new white cord switch & new white plug (UK Plug up to 250V). This lamp can be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use this light in other countries with a light bulb suitable to local electricity.
This original vintage crystal lamp has been made in stunning mouth blown clear crystal by renown French cristallerie Maison Saint Louis, the oldest manufacturer of art glass in Europe, around the 1950`s. The firm had a long reputable history making quality crystal objects to the present day.
The lamp is marked underside within the pontil mark of the base with the acid etched "Cristal - Saint Louis - France" seal and mark. The original vintage manufacturer`s label "Saint Louis Cristal of France" including their famous crown logo, is still present on the outside.
Timeless with its elegant sculptural form & modernist lines. It works well as a desk, entrance, table or bedside lamp. It would make an elegant & glamorous addition to a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Traditional, Mid-Century, Hollywood Regency, or Contemporary.
This table lamp is of good large proportions, and combines modernist style with classic, time tested, craftsmanship.
The lamp`s body elongates from the triangular base at the bottom into a curved linear form, narrowing towards the neck and the lampholder. The craftsman also shaped the inner cavities of the glass. Using a special valve at the top of the blowing pipe, the glassblower created a decorative air chamber inside the glass, at the centre of the base. The separated space inside the glass make for multiple light refractions.
A new silver tone metal lampholder with cover has been fitted, complementing the overall look of the lamp. Two removable silver metal rings secure the lampshade.
This lamp is finished with a quality vintage screw on drum shade, in black silk and silver lined, dating probably from the 1980`s. The lampshade is included in the price.
It carries 1 standard small screw light bulb (E14) up to 60 Watts. At present it is fitted & photographed with a Golf Clear shaped light bulb of 28 Watts, which is included in the price. It could take any other E14 bulb types.
This vintage lamp is in very good condition for its age. The crystal base is sound with no chips or cracks and only minor superficial marks, mostly on the underside, in line with age & wear. The vintage lampshade is in good condition and sound, with no cuts or holes, with a small slightly dented area on the outside.
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care while packing. For safe transport the base would be wrapped separately from the shade, both in bubble wrap, foam and an outer layer of card. Together these parts would easily fit into a box with loose fill packing nuts, safe for posting with a courier. We ship with reliable couriers (signed for, tracked & insured).
Additional dimensions:
The total height of the lamp with the shade on is: 54 cm.
The dimensions of the crystal base alone (without the lampshade) is: Height: 37 cm, Width: 17 cm, Depth: 17 cm.
The lampshade alone has the following dimensions: Height: 20 cm, Diameter: 40 cm
MAISON SAINT LOUIS HISTORY
Saint Louis Crystal is the oldest "Cristallerie" in France. Founded in 1586, their factory still stands on the same site. They became "Verrerie Royale" (Royal Glassworks) in 1767 through Louis XV’s royal seal of approval. In 1781, experts at Saint-Louis solved the mystery perfecting the technique into making genuine crystal, the finest and most transparent glass possible.
Since 1829, renamed "Cristallerie Royale de Saint-Louis", the manufacture has been exclusively devoted to the production of crystal-glass items, introducing the concept of a set of glasses for the dining table with the Trianon service.
The crystal is mouthblown, hand-cut, hand-engraved and hand-decorated using 24-carat gold or platinum.
Saint-Louis has been part of the Hermès group since 1995.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
