Made by Atelier Petitot in France during the early 20th century, 1930s, this floor lamp combines intricate wrought iron craftsmanship with beautiful Muller Frères glass details. The lamp exudes elegance and sophistication, making it a standout addition to any antique collection or a stylish decor piece in a modern home. You can see examples of the Atelier Petitot Cleopatra chandelier for sale online.

This chandelier features four molded and frosted Muller Frères glass shades with a stimulating contrast of billowing curvature and striated linear detailing, the central element of each shade swooping upwards and expanding outwards, curling back on itself to creating a wonderful billowing motif reminiscent of the front of an ocean vessel. Horizontal striations frame the upward lines and integrate beautifully into the triangular frame with cutout detailing contrasting and sharply framing the more curved elements of the shades. Suspended by four rectilinear supports that lead up to a canopy with lovely expanding linear detailing, unifying the frame with the shades and providing additional moments of admiration and beautiful execution.

A stunning torchier and a lovely example of the motifs and design characteristics of the Art Deco era, this fixture will style well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Art Deco to Mid-Century Modernist and Contemporary Interiors. Newly rewired to American Standards there are four chandelier bulb sockets - the bulbs are not included. The prior owner rewired this floor lamp and did not include a switch. Apparently, the lamp was plugged into an outlet that the wall switch would turn on and off. I will include a new inline toggle switch that you can use if desired.
