French Art Nouveau Glass Bowl Pendant Chandelier Signed by Muller Frères, 1920s

French Art Nouveau bronze and Pâte de Verre glass pendant light fixture by Muller Frères Luneville from circa the 1920s. This delightful French Art Nouveau period pendant light features a white color 'Pâte de Verre' glass bowl with purple, brown, and slight blue tones.
