This exceptional Art Deco Machine Age rectangular pendant chandelier, designed in France circa 1935 by Petitot, exemplifies the period's fascination with geometric precision, elegant modernity, and meticulous craftsmanship. Its elongated, rectilinear form is accented by a series of sleek horizontal glass rods that catch and diffuse light with striking clarity, while subtly reflecting the industrial elegance of the Machine Age. At its heart, a frosted glass diffuser provides a soft, atmospheric glow, ensuring the chandelier not only illuminates but transforms its surroundings with warmth and sophistication. The entire composition is anchored by luxurious silvered bronze fittings, whose cool metallic luster complements the glass elements and adds a sense of timeless refinement. With its streamlined, architectural silhouette, this piece is a perfectly balanced fusion of function and artistry, making it an ideal centerpiece for any interior, from a grand dining room or modern living space to an entryway that sets the tone for curated elegance. Radiating the spirit of innovation and glamor central to Art Deco design, this French chandelier transcends mere utility to become an enduring statement of cultural and aesthetic significance. Newly rewired to American Standards and with height that can be adjusted to suit, this chandelier accommodates four candelabra base bulbs achieving up to 240 watts of light.
