About the Item

Enormous, important pair of French Art Deco palatial T-shaped Petitot sconces, monumental in scale, these extraordinary pair stand approximately 53 inches high by 35 inches wide, making them particularly impressive for large-scale interiors. The grand scale wall lights feature a sophisticated half-round glass column with glass rods arranged vertically throughout the elongated central section, creating a beautifully fluted illuminated effect. The glass terminates at the bottom in distinctive demilune, nickeled bronze bullet-shaped ends, while the substantial highly polished nickled bronze armature is heavily cast with the weight and quality associated with exceptional Art Deco lighting. The faceted upper section is particularly elaborate, with a sculptural crown-like form incorporating four individually divided sections of frosted flat glass, each fitted with vertical glass rods and surrounded by substantial cast nickeled bronze framework. Beneath the crown, four frosted glass wings extend outward in a dramatic geometric arrangement, adding both breadth and architectural presence while beautifully diffusing the light. The combination of the massive scale, geometric detailing, substantial glass rods, and carefully articulated four-part crown gives these fixtures a particularly high-quality, majestic Art Deco character. These fixtures carry the commanding presence of architectural sculptures while remaining highly functional. The wall lamps deliver abundant and brilliant light when needed, doubling as an ambient, atmospheric art piece that redefines the mood and warmth to any space. Their commanding proportions and highly sculptural construction make them ideally suited to a grand loft, hotel lobby, palace or estate interior, theater, hallway, monumental entryway, dining room, over a fireplace mantel, or installation on large column walls in an Art Deco, Industrial, Mid Century, Contemporary, Italian design or Modernist setting. Due to their scale, these wall sconces can even be used in lieu of a floor lamp, while on the wall the entire glass entity illuminates from the front, the side and from the top as well. The bulbs create a beautiful striped pattern when lit up. Ten lights each. The depth varies from 4 in the total depth of the bottom vertical section to 13 in max at the horizontal top. Priced as a pair of two sconces, but can be purchased individually. We may have a few pairs available. Completely redesigned and re-electrified for ease of installation. They weigh just under ~ 50 lbs per each sconce. wall art, massive, palatial, very large, huge wall lamps
