Claude-Paz Et Silva
The company Claude-Paz Et Silva was founded in 1933. The company is the result of the merger between Claude Lumière, founded in 1930 by the two nephews Georges (1870-1960) and André Claude (1900-1950) and Paz & Silva, founded in 1900. André Claude became the president of the company.
They manufactured household appliances and neon light commercials (patented Georges Claude processes, the inventor of the neon light). The company was acquired by JC Decaux, today well known for the billboard publicity.
In 1956, the company merged with Visseaux to form Claude Paz & Visseaux. The full name of the company remains “Claude Paz & Visseaux” but the logo is shortened to just “Claude“, as you can see on the aluminium label. Viseaux was founded in 1900 by Jacques Visseaux (1872-1952), specialized in the manufacture of appliances for gas lighting.
In 1966 absorbed by the American group ITT (International Telephone & Telegraph) and in 1980 by the group GTE (General Telephone & Electronics Corporation); after 1993, taken over by SLI France (Sylvania Lighting International France).
Jean Colin (1911-1982), the famous French playbill designer created several advertising posters for Claude-Paz Et Silva.
Often said that these lamps were designed by famous French designer Jean Perzel, but that is not true. There is no mention about the lamps Claude Et-Paz Silva on his website. Jean Perzel designed several lamps in this style, that’s all.
