Art Deco Atelier Petitot Chandelier

Description
This chandelier is a French Art Deco masterpiece by Atelier Petitot, crafted circa 1930 and notable for its luxurious use of glass rods and gleaming nickel-plated bronze mountings, The bold geometric form and radiant materials are typical of Petitot’s celebrated modernist lighting, which set new standards in 1930s French design; The body and shades feature meticulously cut and polished clear glass rods, arranged horizontally and vertically to diffuse and amplify light while producing dramatic linear reflections, the frame is formed from cast bronze, finished in nickel for a cool, silvery gleam that complements the clarity of the glass and enhances the overall architectural silhouette.

Atelier Petitot, active in Paris since 1860 and led in the 1930s by Henri Petitot, was among the most prestigious Art Deco lighting houses, known for combining functional engineering with high art. Pieces by Atelier Petitot are documented in major design museums and were widely used in both residential and public spaces during the interwar period, making them icons of French Art Deco lighting
