Extremely
rare stunning pair of large art deco sconces manufactured by Degue around 1925-1928.
Set in a floral ornamented bronze frame, the shades feature a dazzling floral and leavy pattern sculptured out of thick heavy glass. Please have a look at the pictures to get an idea of the beauty of this unique and very stylish pair. The set is in excellent condition and has been newly rewired.
This pair is probably one of the most fantastic example of what art deco was able to bring out. This set would be at ease in any ensemble made by either Ruhlmann or Leleu...
About Degué
Degué is the artist signature of the glassmaker David Guéron.
David Guéron, which origins were turkish started founding the Cristalleries De Compiègne at the beginning of the 1920s.
Wishing to extend his activity to the luxury segment, he founded the Verrerie d'Art Degué in Paris in 1926.
His main products were vases and ceiling shades where he experimented in many different colours. He also copied many of the work done by Daum, Muller and above all Charles Schneider (le Verre français). His notoriety he achieved with the quality of the art deco designs he produced lead him to employ also designers who were working for Schneider.
This situation lead Schneider to sue him and both companies almost didn t survived the conflict. Degué did employ many designers like Édouard Cazaux but did also some designs himself.
The company closed with the IIWW and David Guéron left France in 1939
