About the Item

Square Art Deco Modernist nickelled bronze chandelier dating from the 1920’s or 1930’s in the style of Henri Petitot. Though this chandelier is unsigned we attribute it to Henri Petitot or Atelier Petitot. The body of the chandelier is like an inverted square pyramid. There are 2 « invisible » lights hidden in the frame of the body. From the top: Three floors in polished bronze followed by two floors of thick frosted and sandblasted glass plates that let the light through. The body of the chandelier hangs from an elegant column of nickelled bronze which is capped with a nickelled square flush mount canopy (ceiling mount) that serves to cover the electrical box in the ceiling. Dimensions in cm Total Height: 60 Bronze body, 3 parts Top part: 57.5 x 49 Middle part: 49 x 39.5 Bottom part: 39.5 x 30 Followed by 2 frosted glass parts. 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.
