Petitot
A large French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze by Henri Petitot holding a bowl in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass. The bronzier Antonin Petitot started his company in 1878. His son Henri took over in 1917. Together with Hettier & Vincent they became the largest producer of French art deco lighting in the 30s. The chandelier on offer has a bowl with a diameter of 45 cm (about 17-3/4"). This model was created and produced for Petitot by Muller freres and was made in a 40 and 45 cm diameter version. The pendant on offer is the large one. I do have a second identical one listed in a seperate ad. This sale is for one pendant light only. The total height of the chandelier is 68 cm (26-3/4 inches).
The pendant is in very good condition. One insignificant small chip on the inside of the rim (see last two pictures). I have renickeled the fixture. And it is rewired and holds an American standard socket. For European countries I will place a E27 one.

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.
