Jean Gauthier (EJG) : a pair of French art deco wall sconces, 1930 France

Jean Gauthier A nice pair of authentic 1925-1930 French art deco wall lights in nickel plated solid brass holding two beautiful slip shades in frosted moulded-pressed glass. The shades were acid frosted and then polished by hand to create glossy highlights. Both are signed EJG (for Etablissement Jean Gauthier). The sconces are 29 cm high (11-27/64) 18,5 cm wide and 11 cm deep. They are in excellent condition. I have renickeled and patinated the fixtures. The sconces are rewired with E14 sockets so you can use our modern light bulbs for them. I will add two good quality LED bulbs to the parcel. For the US Canada or Japan I will wire them with American candelabra base sockets. For European countries I will place E14 ones. The wall sconces will be shipped by priority mail. Safely packed and fully insured. Free shipping offered for Belgium France Holland or Germany. A pick up in Rotterdam is possible as well. 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.
