Former students of the Ecole Boulle, Philippe Genêt and Lucien Michon set up a design firm in 1911 that made lighting fixtures in 1919. They presented works at the Salon des artistes décorateurs in 1922 with among other things some Art Deco furniture inspired by the Louis XVI style. But from the next Salon d'Automne, they exhibit a chandelier with frosted molded-pressed glass shades, matching sconces, and also a fruit bowl in glass.

From 1927, they participate in Salons des artistes décorateurs on several booths with glass frames, glass pressed lighting fixtures and a wall covering in pressed glass too, produced in collaboration with the Franco-Belgian Society in Lyon for the mechanical glass manufacturing (Libbey-Owens process), chandeliers, and a frosted glass globe on a bronze base.

This is a fine opportunity to acquire a rare lamp.

Very good condition. less
