This extra-large 1940s industrial enamel lampshade brings authentic factory style, charcoal black patina, and reclaimed character to rustic, loft, farmhouse, and industrial interiors.
This striking French vintage industrial enamel lampshade is an authentic 1940s piece salvaged from a traditional French factory and sourced at a brocante market in France.
With its deep charcoal black enamel finish, generous 50cm diameter, and beautifully timeworn surface, this pendant shade makes a dramatic statement over a dining table, kitchen island, hallway, studio, or covered commercial space. The natural patina, enamel chips, rust spotting, and fading all add to its appeal, giving it the distinctive look only genuine vintage factory lighting can offer.

Condition and Authenticity
This is an original vintage French industrial lampshade, not a modern reproduction. It shows the expected signs of age and use, including enamel chips, rust spotting, fading, and surface wear, all consistent with its working life and age. These imperfections are part of its authentic character and timeworn appeal. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and condition report.
