An exceptional six-light Art Deco ceiling lamp or chandelier, Atelier Petitot, Paris, circa 1930, in nickel-plated metal. It projects a pleasant, warm, and diffused light through its frosted and carved opal glass shades. The structure is made of nickel-plated brass, with a central stem that branches into six arms, each topped with an upward-facing opal glass shade.

The lampshades are carved with illustrious geometric motifs characteristic of Art Deco, with rows of triangular shapes that dance across the surface, and striated and grooved details in the frosted and molded glass that reinforce the lamp's outer profile. These geometric motifs are reflected in the metal of the canopy. A marvelous lamp, a true example of Art Deco lighting.
