Cuban Art Deco lighting suite centered around a 1923–1928 four-arm slip-shade chandelier attributed to Lámparas Quesada, with ornate die-cast metalwork, select verdigris accents, and blush-pink ribbed glass shades. Visually, the piece sits beautifully between Art Deco and what later collectors would recognize as Hollywood Regency-style glamour. It is sculptural, dramatic, warm, bright, and highly decorative without feeling generic. The blush-pink ribbed glass, fan-like cast details, scalloped forms, geometric motifs, and mixed brass/bronze/copper-toned metalwork give it the feeling of a surviving object from a long-gone gilded interior world rather than a standard vintage chandelier. The chandelier frame is very old, solid die-cast metal with substantial weight, crisp cast detail, and age-related surface character throughout. It has been cleaned and cosmetically restored to highlight its decorative brilliance rather than left in a dull, heavily tarnished state. The overall look is bright, glamorous, and highly decorative, with warm metallic variation that complements the blush-pink glass beautifully. Select turquoise verdigris remains in some of the recessed cast details, where it adds contrast, depth, and antique character without making the fixture read as dark, crusty, or overly tarnished. The metal still shows honest age, including casting texture, small surface scratches, minor dents, marks, and natural variation consistent with a very old die-cast fixture. These details are visible on close inspection but do not detract from the overall presentation. Because the chandelier is solid die-cast metal with a restored mixed-metal finish, a professional could easily further polish, brighten, or selectively refine the frame if the buyer prefers a more uniform look. I chose not to over-restore it, preserving its balance of brilliance, age, verdigris accents, and original character. This is not an original matched factory suite. It is a carefully assembled period-sourced lighting suite built around the vintage Art Deco chandelier and a collection of highly complementary blush-pink glass shades and flush mounts of the same time period and style language. The included shades were selected for their harmony in color, scale, molded glass texture, and Art Deco character, allowing the buyer to create a cohesive vintage-inspired lighting scheme rather than purchasing a single isolated fixture. The glass shades show the soft variation expected from vintage pressed or molded glass, including gentle mottling, slight tone differences, minor surface wear, and small manufacturing irregularities. These details are consistent with age and period manufacturing methods and do not detract from the overall presentation. There are 10 blush-pink glass shades included in total. One shade has a visible chip/crack, and some of the others may have small rim chips, fleabites, or minor edge wear. Most rim wear is not visually noticeable once the shades are installed and viewed from below/ceiling height, but it is disclosed here for accuracy. Two of the coordinating flush-mount shades also have small marks at the tip/high point of the glass. These are minor age-related or manufacturing-type imperfections and are not visually distracting when installed. The overall effect remains very beautiful, cohesive, and dramatic. Because 10 shades are included, the buyer has flexibility to choose the preferred installed set based on the closest color match, best condition, or overall visual balance they prefer. The additional shades also provide valuable replacements/spares for a vintage lighting suite with glass that would likely be very difficult to source separately. Historical / Design Context This chandelier is closely tied to a rare and increasingly difficult-to-find chapter of Cuban decorative arts: the elegant Art Deco and early glamour lighting tradition associated with Lámparas Quesada. It has the presence of early 20th-century Cuban Art Deco glamour, where architectural metalwork, theatrical glass, and richly decorative interiors met the cosmopolitan style language of the period. Lámparas Quesada was founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1923 by Ildefonso Quesada López-Chávez and later became one of Cuba’s best-known lighting houses, with its celebrated Havana store at Infanta and San Lázaro. Period accounts describe Quesada as more than a simple lighting retailer. It was a Cuban decorative-arts house known for finely made lamps, cast metalwork, glass, and elegant lighting for refined interiors. That context is part of what makes this suite so compelling. The design has strong 1920s Art Deco language, geometric cast details, fan-like motifs, sculptural arms, ribbed blush glass, and architectural metalwork, while also carrying the dramatic glamour later collectors often associate with Hollywood Regency interiors. It feels theatrical, romantic, and richly decorative without being ordinary or mass-market. One of the most remarkable aspects of early Quesada-style lighting is the artistry of the cast components themselves. The individual dies used to create these metal elements appear to have functioned almost like a sculptural design vocabulary: fan forms, shields, collars, scrolls, arms, floral and architectural details, and geometric motifs could be arranged in different ways across different fixtures. Surviving examples suggest these lamps were not simply repeated as rigid factory patterns, but were often individually composed from beautifully designed cast elements. The result is that many period Quesada fixtures feel like one-of-a-kind works of decorative art, even when they share recognizable components with other antique examples.

This chandelier’s provenance traces to Camagüey, Cuba, which is significant given Lámparas Quesada’s early eastern Cuban origins before the company became more widely associated with Havana and later international markets. Appraisal determined the chandelier to have been made in the 1920s placing it in Quesada's 1923–1928 period, which is the earliest known chapter of Lámparas Quesada’s Cuban production, after the firm’s founding in Santiago de Cuba and before its relocation and expansion into Havana. For collectors with Cuban heritage, ties to the island, or an interest in Caribbean Art Deco, this piece carries a resonance beyond its function as lighting. It feels like a surviving fragment of a vanished Cuban design world: elegant, ambitious, handmade, cosmopolitan, and deeply tied to a period when Cuban makers were producing decorative work that could stand beside European and American design. The attribution to Lámparas Quesada is based on professional appraisal, Cuban provenance, acquisition history, period construction details, cast-metal design language, and comparison to documented Quesada-style fixtures and components. Because Cuban lighting of this period is not widely documented and definitive archival factory records can be difficult to access, the attribution is presented carefully and transparently rather than as an absolute factory guarantee. Additional provenance context, appraisal details, research notes, close-up photos, videos, and any specific measurements needed can be provided to serious buyers upon request. I am also happy to assist with Spanish-language communication or help facilitate further conversation regarding Cuban and Caribbean decorative arts, historic lighting, and the modern Dominican Republic-based continuation of Lámparas Quesada if language barriers arise. Serious buyers are strongly encouraged to reach out before purchase. I am happy to provide additional photos, close-ups, videos, background information, and any specific measurements needed. Included: This listing includes the full vintage lighting suite shown/described: One restored four-arm Art Deco chandelier attributed to Lámparas Quesada Ten blush-pink ribbed glass shades Three coordinating blush-pink flush-mount shades Four E26 sockets for electrician installation Four long tubular T10 LED Edison-style bulbs, 7.3 inches / 185mm, dimmable, 2700K soft white, E26 base, 6W LED / 60W equivalent Small original hardware/components that were retained but not reinstalled during the restoration process because they did not make sense to reuse in the current configuration The included tubular bulbs were hand selected specifically for this fixture and shade shape. The idea is for the long warm-white bulbs to visually echo the vertical ribbing of the blush glass and extend slightly above the shade line, creating a dramatic Art Deco/Regency effect when viewed from below or across the room. They add a tall, glowing architectural element rather than disappearing inside the shades like standard bulbs. Sockets and bulbs are included, but buyer should have all electrical components reviewed, installed, and approved by a qualified electrician or lighting professional. Final socket placement, bulb use, dimmer compatibility, clearance, and installation decisions should be confirmed by the buyer’s electrician.
