Topic: Fabulous 1930's glass panelled and silver light fitting ~ help with maker please

[rosieposie]

This beautiful glass panelled light fitting dates back to the '30s....can anyone help to identify the country of origin and the maker please?

The framework and ceiling plate is possibly silver but would be called white metal as there are no marks on it.  The fitting consists of 4 side panels which feature an oustretched lady and on either side are flowers moulded into the glass, with 4 corner panels and a panel below.

This belongs to someone else,  not me (sadly!) and I am asking on her behalf for your help.

Any questions may take a day or two to get answers, but please feel free to ask and I will get back ASAP.

Nice, the ladies hairstyle in the panel is very like the hairstyle of the lady in the Lalique 6 dancers (six danseuses lamp shade). I wonder??
