Hettier & Vincent - Hanging lamp - Stained glass - Hettier & Vincent

Hettier & Vincent / Verrerie des Hanots: Art Deco ceiling light, molded-pressed glass. Elegance and sobriety for this pendant by the duo Hettier & Vincent, listed in the manufacturer's 1930 catalog, model no. 8871.
The association between designer Charles-Louis Hettier (Paris, 1868) and Calixte Vincent (Lachapelle-Graillouse, 1876 – Paris, 1945) dates from 1909.
Having established themselves from the outset at 43 rue des Tournelles, they gradually grew their business and in 1929 they bought the Millet firm on Place des Vosges. After World War II the widow Vincent ran the company until the sale.
The model presented here for sale (No. 8871 in the manufacturer’s catalog) consists of a hexagonal canopy/shade with radiating motifs. A collarless globe grip connects the frame to the globe in frosted white molded-pressed glass bearing daisy and butterfly motifs, or some parts of the glass decorations have been repolished.
The globe was produced by Verrerie des Hanots, which was part of Holophane France, whose production factory was located at Les Andelys, in Eure. The signatures “Des Hanots” corresponded to those used for art and decorative glassmaking such as lighting glass, vases, sculptures, and architectural glass. In 1930, Holophane France became the Société Anonyme Holophane, a wholly French company entirely independent from the English and American entities. Hettier & Vincent used many lighting glass pieces from Les Andelys for their luminaires, some in exclusive or near-exclusive ways.
Note a slight imperfection not visible inside the globe—see the last photo (no chipping or crack).
