Jean Gauthier EZAN - A pair of French art deco wall sconces

Etablissement JEAN GAUTHIER - EZAN A beautiful pair of French art deco wall sconces made around 1935 in nickel plated solid brass or bronze. They hold nice cups in opalescent moulded-pressed semi-crystal. With beautiful tones of milky blue or warm amber depending wether light falls on or shines through them. These opalescent cups were made by Jean Gauthier (Ezan) in his factory for pressed glassware in Ezanville. This model cups is never signed. The sconces are 17 cm high and project 27,5 cm from the wall. The shades have a diameter of 21 cm. The wall lights are in excellent condition. I renickeled and patinated the mounts. The fixtures are rewired with E14 sockets so you can use our modern light bulbs for them. For the USA or Japan I will place American candelabra base ones. EZAN - 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 sometimes 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.
