The story
A.E. Cremer was a Paris maker of lighting for theatre, film and television. The small "baby" spots, with their Fresnel lens, gave a focused, soft-edged beam to pick out actors and details on stage and on set.
The restoration
The spotlight was restored and rewired with an E27 fitting, approx. 2 m of cord, an inline switch and an EU plug. It keeps its original hammered black body, chrome details and Fresnel lens, and a bulb is included.
In your interior
Compact and elegant, it gives focused accent light in a living room, reading corner, studio, restaurant or boutique. A gift for lovers of French cinema and design history.
