A nice, large pair of French art deco wall sconces in nickel plated copper alloy (bronze or solid brass). Made around 1930-1935. They hold cups in clear partly frosted pressed glass. These shades were made by the glass manufactory EJG-Ezan. This model is signed Ezan on the inside of the shade. The bronze is marked AP (for Alexandre Petitot). The bronze maker Alexandre Petitot started his company in 1878. His son Alexandre Hubert took over around 1917. The Paris based company of Petitot was a wholesale selling its lamps to lighting shops all over France.  Petitot produced precious fixtures in high quality bronze with shades from the best French glass manufacturers.

As you can see on the last four pictures I have this model cup also in opalescent glass. You can choose which version you want me to send along with the mounts.

The wall lights are 31,8 cm high (12,52 inches). They project 36 cm (14,17") from the wall. The shades have a diameter of 22 cm (8,66"). The sconces are in very good condition. I re-nickeled and patinated the mounts. The fixtures are rewired with American candelabra base sockets. For European countries I will place E14 ones.

Free worldwide shipping. The lamps will be shipped with full insurance by priority mail.

EZAN - Jean Gauthier had his first workshop at 12-14 rue Jean Robert in Paris and later expended with factories in the town of Ezanville. In the early days just after the first world war Gauthier made cameo shades that were sometimes signed Gauthier. The plants in Ezanville were opened for the production of art deco glassware in molded-pressed glass. Many art deco models are unsigned. Some are signed EJG for Etablissements Jean Gauthier. Others are signed J.Robert pseudonym for J.Gauthier based on the street name of the first workshop. In the 30s Gauthier started a line of shades done in opalescent semi-crystal, mainly cups. Some models are unsigned. Others are signed EZAN France, signature for Gauthier based on the city of the second plant.
