Petitot

In France the company Atelier Petitot produced many lamps with glass rods like this one. It was founded and owned by Henry Petitot. Maybe it is a lamp by this company.

This art deco table/desk/bedside lamp was acquired in Romeny-sur-Marne, in between Paris and Reims, France. A small village with almost 500 inhabitants (2019).

The lamp has a B22 socket, so in all probability it was produced in France. Except for the United Kingdom, all other countries in Europe use Edison E27 or E14 sockets.

Today, new lamps with glass rods are produced. Sold as art deco lamps, but they are “in the style”.

The lampshade can be easily removed if the bulb needs to be replaced, as you can see.

Lamps in the movies!

Two big chrome versions of this glass rods art deco bedside lamp appear in an episode of the Endeavor police TV series, season 3 episode 4. They appear in a bank that is robbed. Starring Shaun Evans as inspector Endeavour Morse and Roger Allam as Fred Thursday. These lamps are in all probability made by Atelier Petitot.
