wall sconces by Ets. Jean Gauthier
A nice pair of French 1930 art deco wall lights in nickel plated solid … more wall sconces by Ets. Jean Gauthier
A nice pair of French 1930 art deco wall lights in nickel plated solid brass or bronze holding beautiful panels in frosted molded-pressed glass. The shades were acid frosted and then polished by hand to create glossy highlights. This model slip shade is never signed like many other models of the large glass factory of Etablissements Jean Gauthier. The mounts were made by a large French company in bronze art deco lighting that sometimes used the foundry marks BEV. So far we have not found out the name of this firm and never a product catalog was found. This model sconce however is represented in the old sales catalog of the French company Fisseau et Cochot. A retailer in Paris dealing in art deco lighting.
The sconces are 12 inches high. 9,29" wide and 5,5" deep. Both are in excellent condition.
I have three pairs available. Some shades have shallow chips on the rim. All hidden by the metal mounts. I have re-nickeled and patinated the mountings. The wall lamps come rewired. I placed American candelabra base sockets.

Jean Gauthier had his first workshop at 12-14 rue Jean Robert in Paris and later expended with factories in the town of Ezanville. In the early days just after the first world war Gauthier made cameo shades that were sometimes signed Gauthier. The plants in Ezanville were opened for the production of art deco glassware in molded-pressed glass. Many art deco models are unsigned. Some are signed EJG for Etablissements Jean Gauthier. Others are signed J. Robert pseudonym for J. Gauthier based on the street name of the first workshop. In the 30s Gauthier started a line of shades done in opalescent semi-crystal, mainly cups. Some models are unsigned. Others are signed EZAN France, signature for Gauthier based on the city of the second plant.
