Cleopatra chandelier by H. Petitot
A large French 1933 art deco chandelier in nickeled brass or bronze by the famous … more Cleopatra chandelier by H. Petitot
A large French 1933 art deco chandelier in nickeled brass or bronze by the famous Paris based company of Hubert Petitot holding three slip shades and three side-shades. These shades were produced for Petitot by the Muller frères glass factories. This model is referred to as "Cleopatra" in the old catalogs. The bronze maker Alexandre Petitot started his company in 1878. His son Hubert took over in 1917. The Paris based company of Petitot was a wholesale selling its lamps to lighting shops all over France Europe and the States. Together with Hettier & Vincent Petitot became the largest producer of French art deco lighting in the late 20s and early 30s. Petitot produced precious fixtures in high quality bronze with shades from the best French glass manufacturers.
The Cleopatra shades are made of thick frosted pressed glass. These horizontal and vertical ribbed shades are frosted on both in and outside. The side-shades are signed Petitot. The mounting is marked with the usual Petitot initials AP for Alexandre Petitot.
The chandelier has a drop of 84 cm (33.07") and a diameter of about 61 cm (some 24 inches). It is in excellent condition. I re-nickeled the fixture. The version with 4 slip shades is represented in the 1933 Petitot catalog. This larger version can be found in one of my other ads.
The chandelier is newly wired. It holds three American standard sockets and three American candelabra base ones.
