## About Jean Perzel

Jean Perzel (1892–1986) was a master glassmaker and an early figure in modern lighting in France. Active from the 1920s, he connected glassmaking knowledge with the design and manufacture of refined lighting fixtures. The Atelier Jean Perzel dates its activity to 1923 and continues to associate his name with handmade art lighting produced in Paris. Collectors may encounter the Perzel name on table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights, and sconces, often identified by numbered Atelier references. Documented examples include designs associated with 1930 and the wider 1930s. The available sources do not securely resolve whether Perzel's origin should be described as Austrian or Bavarian, so no nationality is asserted here. His enduring relevance comes from the combination of recognizable lighting forms, specialist glass expertise, numbered designs, and the continuity of the workshop established around his pioneering vision.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Jean Perzel commonly appear as lighting fixtures, particularly numbered table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights, and sconces. The documented practice combines lighting design and manufacture with glassmaking and handmade French workshop production. Some Atelier examples are identified with 1930 or described as 1930s designs.

## Market and appraisal context

Assessment of a Jean Perzel lighting fixture should begin with its type and any visible model or reference number. The Atelier documents numbered table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights, and sconces, including examples associated with 1930 and the 1930s. Those identifiers and period descriptions can help establish which documented designs are relevant for comparison. The collected evidence does not include usable major-auction-house results, realized prices, or detailed comparable lots, so it does not support price predictions or market-trend claims. Attribution and dating should therefore remain separate from visual similarity, and any valuation should use appropriately matched public auction records when they are available.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes documented identity and Atelier context from market evidence that was not present in the collected source pack.
