Pair of Jean Perzel No. 601 Pendants – Iconic French Art Deco Lighting

On request

Item Description

Offered is a rare matched pair of No. 601 pendants by celebrated French lighting designer Jean Perzel — a stunning example of his refined, modernist vision rooted in the Art Deco tradition. Originally designed in 1936, these pendants are composed of elegant opaline glass diffusers suspended beneath bold circular canopies. The architectural simplicity and perfect light diffusion are hallmarks of Perzel’s signature style. The combination of clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and luminous materials results in a timeless form that feels equally at home in classic or contemporary interiors. These pendants are ideal for symmetrical installations—above a kitchen island, flanking a dining table, or anchoring a long hallway. Their subtle presence adds sophistication without overwhelming a space. Details: Designer: Jean Perzel Model: No. 601 Quantity: Sold as a pair Origin: France, circa 1990 Materials: Opaline glass, nickel-plated metal Condition: great vintage condition, wired for U.S. or international use. This model originally has large glass rings on the outside of the shade that are missing on this pair. Perfectly functional as shown in the photos. Why we love them: Rare to find as a pair, these pendants showcase the serene balance and craftsmanship that made Perzel’s work a favorite in embassies, ocean liners, and grand Parisian residences.
