This rare pair of majestic French art deco floor lamps is a creation of the famed Atelier Petitot in Lyon, France. A similar lamp appears in their 1937 catalog. The torchieres have weighted three step nickel bases with three faux painted Macassar ebony shafts separated by bright nickel “speed” rings. The upper wood portion incorporates a ball and dome motif and is surmounted by a unique stepped bright nickel bowl. The lamps are 70” tall and the bowls are 18” in diameter at the top rim. The metal has been replated and coated with clear lacquer and the lamps have been rewired for American electricity.
