A French art deco chandelier made circa 1930-1935 in nickel plated bronze or solid brass by the famous Paris based company of Hubert Petitot holding a bowl and four bell shades. These shades were produced by the Muller freres glass factories. All five shades are signed.
Alexandre Petitot founded the bronze workshop in 1878, and his son Hubert took over around 1917. Mainly operating as wholesale manufacturers, they supplied high-end bronze fixtures paired with glass shades from premier makers such as Verreries des Hanots, Muller Frères, and Degué. By the mid-1930s, the firm had shifted to a streamlined, modernist style, featuring opalescent bluish semi-crystal shades by Ezan.
The mounting is marked with the usual Petitot foundry initials AP for Alexandre Petitot. The chandelier is represented in the 1931 Petitot product catalog, which is no part of this sale.

The chandelier has a drop of 90 cm (35,43") and a diameter of about 81 cm (31,89 inches). The central Muller bowl has a diameter of 36 cm. The beautiful and large canopy has a diameter of 30 cm (11,8 inches). The chandelier is in excellent condition. I re-nickeled and patinated the fixture. It is newly wired and holds an American standard socket and four American candelabra base ones.
