PETITOT, Rectangular Art Deco Chandelier, Nickelled Bronze, Sandblasted Glass

About the Item

Art Deco nickelled bronze chandelier dating from the 1920’s or 1930’s by Henri Petitot. This chandelier is by Henri Petitot and documented (Henri Petitot also known as Atelier Petitot). The bottom of the chandelier body is made of a rectangular nickelled frame. There is a sandblasted glass plate at the bottom and a sandblasted glass plate with clear edges on top. There are 4 «invisible» lights hidden in the frame of the body. An elegant column of nickelled bronze is capped with a nickelled square flush mount canopy (ceiling mount) that serves to cover the electrical box in the ceiling. About Henri Petitot Henri Petitot was quickly recognized as an important designer and manufacturer of the Art Deco period. From the beginning of his career, he manufactured elegant bronze frames for the chandeliers, sconces and lamp for his peers. The Muller Brothers in Lunéville or the Schneider firm, among others, used this talented craftsman to equip their art glass works with high-quality frames and many of the chandelier frames of these glassmakers bear the A.P. signature for Atelier Petitot. Later he designed his own glass works in collaboration with the Muller Brothers who supplied them to him. These chandeliers and sconces were mostly cubist in inspiration, sober and with geometric decorations that contrasted sharply with the floral decorations of other glass makers. Little by little, he made resolutely modernist chandeliers and sconces which definitively established his notoriety which continues today throughout the world. The chandeliers, which could take different shapes (oval, rectangular, octagonal), were made of bronze, sandblasted glass and glass rods and the bodies were elegant, modernist and powerful. The sandblasted glass plate often had a clear edge which produced a warm light. The assembly of the chandeliers is often very ingenious, it combines the strength of bronze and the delicacy of the glass rods, judiciously placed on the various parts of the structure.
