	Item #: 11-183-0 Vintage Belgian Red Ceramic 5 Arm Chandelier Bequet Object: Chandelier Origin: Belgium Dimensions (inches:) 23.25H x 26.25W x 26.25D Date: 1950 Condition: GOOD In overall good condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include nicks or dings to a wooden or metal object, wear to a painted surface, speckling on a mirror, crazing or manufacturing glaze skips in ceramic finish, wear to a label, and some original decorative trim may be missing. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernable and would be mentioned in the listing. 'Good condition' would not include chips or cracks in any glass or ceramic item. Item Specifics: Shows normal wear to finish and miscellaneous nicks, dings, and scratches due to age and use. Color: Red/Gold Material: CERAMIC The word ceramics originates from the ancient Greek word keramikos, meaning potter's clay. The practice of making ceramics has been in existence for nearly 30,000 years. Clay, the primary ingredient for any ceramic, is primarily made of aluminum silicate, which is a malleable soil from crumbling rocks. Ceramics can be grouped according to the type of clay used, the temperature at which the clay is fired, and the duration of the firing. Size: 5-Arm Misc1: Hand-Painted Style: Bequet BEQUET In 1926, Hubert Bequet began working at the Belgian ceramics manufacturer Auguste Mouzin et Cie (AMC), later renamed La Faencerie de Wasmuel, which operated from 1878 to 1951 in the southwest coal-mining region of Belgium (the Borinage). AMC produced fine quality majolica pieces and in 1910 began mass production of ceramic mantle clocks. Bequet took the lessons he had learned at AMC and opened his own ceramics production house in 1934 in Quaregnon. The factory reached the pinnacle of success in 1963 with 150 workers, but eventually closed its doors in April 1985. Bequet was known for colorful, creative high quality ceramic pieces, which were mass produced, often with gold rims and decoration. Early pieces were either unsigned or imprinted with Belgium and a model number. Later pieces are marked with Made In Belgium H. Bequet Quaregnon. Free Shipping: This item will be shipped FREE within the Contiguous 48 United States via Greyhound Bus.

Shipments made via Greyhound Bus measure less than (inches) 30 x 47 x 84 and weigh less than 100 lbs per box. Shipments using Greyhound will require the customer to pick up the piece at their nearest Greyhound Bus Station. Please be sure that you are willing to pick the item up at the nearest Greyhound Station, as the nearest Greyhound Station may be a considerable distance from your home.

Special Message: Because EuroLuxAntiques maintains its own website and lists on other online sites, while also operating a physical store location in Newberry, South Carolina, we reserve the right to end any listing early if it has not been purchased outright or no bids have been placed upon the item. On occasion, a piece listed on a website may no longer be available. We do our best to maintain the accuracy of our inventory records but we often have customers interested in the same item at the same time. In those cases, we defer to the customer who placed the earlier order. We apologize in advance by any inconvenience this may cause. Because of this, we encourage all of our buyers to purchase the item as quickly as possible so that your treasured find doesn't sell elsewhere to someone else. Happy browsing and thanks Aimee & Greg Talbot at EuroLuxAntiques Our chandeliers are typically measured from lowest point of the bottom of chandelier to the top of the main body of the chandelier. This does not include the chain that hangs from the ceiling. If you have any questions regarding height or other dimension of a particular chandelier, please contact EuroLuxAntiques. We will not be held responsible for misunderstandings due to the way we measure the size of our chandeliers.
