Know before you buy
As this is a vintage piece from the 1950s, the hand-braided rope may show natural signs of wear or patina consistent with its age. We recommend reviewing the detailed imagery to assess the specific texture and integrity of the rope fibers.
Yes, the white ceramic shades are original components of this Audoux & Minet design. They provide a clean, matte contrast to the organic texture of the braided rope.
While the fixture follows standard chandelier mounting procedures, we strongly recommend professional installation. Because this is a vintage piece, a licensed electrician should verify the wiring and ensure it meets current safety standards for your home.
The shades are designed for standard base bulbs, though we suggest using LED bulbs with a warm color temperature. This will best complement the natural, textural aesthetic of the rope and the soft glow of the ceramic.
The ceramic shades can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. For the rope, we recommend occasional light dusting with a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum attachment to preserve the integrity of the braiding.
