Jean Gauthier EJG : French art deco pendant ... 1930 chandelier France

JEAN GAUTHIER : EJG - Ezan
les Roses

A rare nickel plated bronze or solid brass1930 french art deco chandelier by la maison EJG. The shade in thick pressed-moulded opalescent glass in a typical art deco design that unites a geometrical pattern and nine stylized roses. The opalescent semi-crystal bowl is milky bluish when the light shines on it and shows beautiful tones of amber when light is shining through, as we know from the best opalescent glasses like pieces by Sabino Lalique or Verlys. The pendant is 44 cm (17-3/8 inches) high and the bowl has a diameter of 33 cm (13-3/4). The bowl is signed EJG France on the rim. The chandelier is in very good condition. No damages to the shade. The last picture shows a small discolorated spot which is original and inside the glass. Typical for handmade pre war glass production. The mounting is replated and patinated. It's wired with three E14 sockets. For The US and Japan I will place three American candelabra base ones.

Jean Gauthier had his first workshop at 12-14 rue Jean Robert in Paris and later expended with factories in the town of Ezanville. In the early days just after the first worldwar Gauthier made cameo shades that were sometimes signed Gauthier. The plants in Ezanville were opened for the production of art deco glassware in moulded-pressed glass. Many art deco models are unsigned. Some are signed EJG for Etablissements Jean Gauthier. Others are signed J.Robert pseudonym for J.Gauthier based on the streetname of the first workshop. In the 30s Gauthier started a line of shades done in opalescent semi-crystal, mainly cups. Some models are unsigned. Others are signed EZAN France, signature for Gauthier based on the city of the second plant.
