Hi Ann,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I've had a good look through all of my Art Deco lighting books - and done the obligatory Google search - and am not coming up with any matches to a manufacturer, but the design is great and I can absolutely believe this was made in France or Belgium as you've mentioned.
Unattributed ceiling lights of this size, style and vintage are currently bringing between $800-1,200; if you ever find a signature, stamp or label please let me know and I'll update this appraisal.
