History :

A French decorator and architect based in Belgium, Alban Chambon designed important monuments in the Belgian capital and along its coastline. At the head of a company founded in Brussels in 1868, he worked with numerous architects before later collaborating with his own sons. Among them was Alfred Chambon, who developed a passion for modern architecture and furniture. Together, father and son created important decorative ensembles, including this pendant lamp with neoclassical motifs. It should be noted that a similar, incomplete pendant lamp is preserved at the CIVA in Brussels.

Provenance:

This pendant lamp comes from an important decorative ensemble created entirely by Alfred and Alban Chambon.
