Jean Perzel

Born in Bohemia in 1892, Jean Perzel settled in Paris and opened his own lighting workshop in 1923, which remains active today. His ceiling lights, sconces and lamps use sandblasted and frosted glass with brass or nickelled metal to diffuse light softly and without glare, in geometric Art Deco forms. He equipped palaces, ocean liners and private residences. Collectors seek signed period pieces with original glass.
