Henri Petitot

Alarge pair ofFrench art deco double wall sconcesaround 1935 by the famous Paris based lighting company la maison Petitot.Heavy bronze or solid brassmounts holdEzan cups in frosted moulded-pressed glass.All 4shades are signed Ezan france on the inside of the cup. Ezan was a large glass manufactory in thetown of Ezanville a little north of Paris. In the mid 30ies it became wellknown for its glassware in bluish opalescent semi-crystal like we can often see on Charles Ranc or Henri Petitot chandeliers of the late thirties.Both mounts are signed petitot and AP (for Antonin Petitot) on the inside. The sconces are in excellent condition. I have cleaned and polished the fixtures. And they come rewired.For the States I will placeamerican candelabra base sockets. For Europe I can place E14 sockets or for the UK and Australia B22 bayonet ones. The wall sconces are 31,5 cm high (12-3/8\") and44 cm wide (17-21/64\").The Ezan cups are 20,5 cm in diameter. The total weight of the pair of sconces is 5,13 kilo.

Priority mail with full insurance.I will ship the sconces in two parcels to make sure the 4 shades will be well protected.

French lamps and wiring

Art deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
