Henri Petitot took over his father Antonin Petitot's shop in 1917 and sold lamps all-over France, Europe and the United States. Later in Henri's career, he worked together with Hettier Vincent and became the largest producer of French Art Deco lighting. Petitot produced precious fixtures in high quality heavy bronze with shades from the best French glass manufacturers such as Sabino, Muller Freres, Degue and Schneider. See less
