AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco lamp, in silvered bronze, from the Hettier & Vincent establishments, a prestigious house located on the Place des Vosges in Paris during the 1920s–1930s, where high society came to source luxurious lighting fixtures.
The lamp base features a very structured decoration whose aesthetic originality lies in a contrast between smooth, polished surfaces and striated and satin surfaces. It appears in a late-1920s catalog by Hettier and Vincent (see Photos 8 and 9). It is in good condition.
The tulip, made by Des Hanots glassworks, is in very good condition despite one or two air bubbles in the glass. It is unsigned, the signature having likely been damaged by the grinding of the upper part intended to shape the socket opening, but this model of lampshade appears in many pages of the Hettier et Vincent house catalog, whether for chandeliers, wall lights, or table lamps (see photo 10).
The bayonet socket and the olive switch have been preserved, but the lamp has been rewired with a twisted electrical wire braided in silver fabric. It will be supplied with an LED bulb.
