Art Deco Machine Age Chrome Glass Rod & Frosted Glass Chandelier by Petitot

About the Item

This stunning and rare Art Deco Machine Age chandelier was realized by the legendary atelier of Petitot in France circa 1935. It features a racetrack streamlined form with two curved ends in lustrous polished chrome with stacked translucent glass floret detailing. The chrome ends are connected via an abundance of translucent glass rods, while the bottom of the piece offers an elongated ovoid shade in frosted glass- gently diffusing light throughout any interior space. The fixture connects to an ovoid canopy- that repeats the form of the chandelier in miniature- with chrome ends and glass rods. With its painstaking attention to detail and iconic form (created by one of the great ateliers of this period), this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate Art Deco design as well as those with a penchant for all things exquisite. The fixture accommodates four candelabra based bulbs, offering up to 240 watts of light. France, circa 1935 Dimensions: Height: 16" x Width: 30.5" x Depth: 14".

  • Sistema Solare Chandelier, Piattelli Design, Ivory-toned Onyx and Brass, 6-shade
    By Silvio Piattelli, Stilnovo, Bruno Gatta
    Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
    Unique chandelier, made from thinly-cut pieces of exquisite ivory-toned translucent onyx. Ideal to be hung over a table, with versatile configurations. Ivory onyx comes from Middle Eastern quarries and has a unique veining. This translucent stone is carefully worked in Italy, and was chosen because of its combination of interesting patterns, high translucency, and the way it makes the light output look warmer. The 6-shade version is ideal to be hung over an oval dining table. Our onyx supplier has worked in many high-end architectural projects, and these same materials have been used at the Armani hotel in Milan. When he was shown the chandelier designs, he rose to the challenge and adapted his tooling to make us perfect round discs. He worked hard to find exactly the right thickness that would keep the depth of the texture. It could not be too thick, otherwise it would lose transparency. And too thin, it would look like it was printed. The result is stunning. The combination of carefully-worked translucent stone and brass works perfectly, and the use of the ingenious Orbitale structure allows the geometry of the chandelier to be played with, and it can be configured in several ways. There is nothing else like this on the market. The Sistema collection uses a clever rotating stem structure and features a shallow drum-shaped shade at the end of each arm. The chandelier arms are designed with two lengths so that each can be staggered at different angles. They work well in any space and suit both regular and low-ceilinged rooms wonderfully. Please see the drawing to get an idea of sizes for the different chandeliers. On the upper side of each disc there is a smaller opening to provide ambient light. Top-quality LEDs with over 80 CRI, meaning that the lighting does not alter the color of food and people. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can be rotated 180 degrees to configure various combinations. As well as two rows of evenly-spaced lights over a dining table, a regular 8-shade star or 4-shade star (see photos) are possible, as well as creative sculptural shapes. The arms can be rotated even when the chandelier is lit. The shades can also be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). This listing shows the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Silvio Piattelli copyright and design. Specifications (Note: The Sistema chandelier has glass shades, while Sistema Solare...

  • Customizable Tacchini Julep Sofa Designed by Jonas Wagell
    By Jonas Wagell Design & Architecture, Tacchini
    Located in New York, NY
    Soft, enveloping shapes characterize this family of upholstered pieces. Julep is influenced by the 1950s Avant-Garde movement, drawing upon its simplicity and grandeur, refined by a contemporary, romantic, feminine allure. Star of the series is the sofa, whose generous rounded lines provided evolutionary DNA for the entire collection – including an armchair, a chaise-longue and an ottoman – in an interplay of proportions and shapes that gave rise, little by little, to all the other versions. Fully upholstered, the seats look ample and full, yet convey a sense of lightness, thanks to the recessed base that invisibly lifts them off the floor. Designed...

  • JENNY Large Wall Light or Sconce in Enamel & Brass by Blueprint Lighting
    By Stilnovo, Mathieu Matégot, Blueprint Lighting
    Located in New York, NY
    Introducing Jenny, the latest vintage-inspired fixture from Blueprint Lighting. Named for multi-hyphenate Jenny Mollen; NYT best-selling author, actress, design enthusiast, mom of 2 and wife of actor Jason Biggs. From our Chief Luminary, Kelly Aaron: "I have been working closely with Jenny off and on for the past year while she gives her NYC apartment a facelift--it's been so fun! She and I share a love of 1950s French design, which is obviously a hallmark of the Blueprint aesthetic. One day Jenny texted a pic of a single vintage mid-century French wall sconce she loved and asked if Blueprint could make it for her. Funny enough--I, too, had seen that same sconce the day before and already had my Creative Director/Husband figuring out how to fabricate it. How great is that?! It was meant to be!" The Jenny sconce...
