Degue Rare Large French Art Deco Chandelier, 1920

Acerca del artículo

Rare French Art Deco Chandelier by DEGUE, Compiegne, France, 1920s – White Frosted Glass with Floral Pattern This exceptional and rare French Art Deco chandelier, created by the renowned DEGUE studio in Compiegne, France, dates back to the 1920s. Known for its refined craftsmanship and iconic designs, DEGUE produced some of the most celebrated lighting fixtures of the Art Deco era, and this chandelier is a stunning example of their artistry. The chandelier features original white frosted glass shades adorned with a stylized Art Deco floral pattern, exuding the elegance and geometric sophistication of the period. It comprises one central bowl and six half rolls, all suspended from a beautiful wrought-iron frame, which enhances its overall bold yet graceful presence. Importantly, this chandelier is an authentic, period piece, with no modifications (except for the necessary rewiring). We can confidently state that this is not a recent reproduction in nickel-plated bronze, but a genuine fixture from the late 1920s, adding significant value to any collection. The chandelier measures 39" (98 cm) in height and has an outer diameter of 26.4" (67 cm). The glass shade is signed with the molded "Degué" signature (as shown in the photo), a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship. A small open and rectified bubble is present on the rim of the bowl, which occurred during the making and is fully hidden by the metal fixture, ensuring it does not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. In very good condition, this chandelier will be delivered fully wired with six LED sockets, ready for use in your country (US, UK, EU, China, etc.). It is compatible with LED bulbs for modern energy efficiency, providing both style and practicality for today’s spaces. This DEGUE chandelier is an outstanding example of French Art Deco lighting and would be a magnificent addition to any collection of vintage French lighting, Art Deco fixtures, or 20th-century decorative arts. Degué was the brainchild of the enigmatic David Guéron (1892 – 1950). Born in Turkey to Spanish Jewish parents, he fled scandal at the age of 22 by joining the French Foreign Legion in 1914, only to be sent to the Western Front, where he was wounded and then pensioned out of the army. Following the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, he set up his glassworks in Compiègne, about 50 miles northeast of Paris, to produce tableware and other functional glass. Compiègne had been the site of the Great War Armistice. In 1926, the year after the successful Paris Exhibition, Guéron moved into the more lucrative production of French art glass. He opened Verrerie d’Art Degué in Paris, a glassworks at Boulevard Malesherbes along with a gallery at 41, avenue de Paris to promote the art glass he named “Degué”. His cameo glass designs leaned heavily toward natural motifs, but also used brilliant colors that became his signature. His internally decorated vases, lamps and lampshades met instant success. Another Degué line used a sandblasting method to decorate monochromatic vessels with graphic devices and designs. The Degué factory made vases, paperweights, bowls, perfume bottles, stemware items such as liqueur glasses, lightshades, chandeliers, art glass lamps, and half-round ceiling lampshades. These shades were composed of translucent layers of colourless glass internally decorated by swirls of color. Degué glass was destined for the collections of the few privileged Americans and French able to afford them. These extravagant works were rarely seen outside the homes of such collectors but influenced the taste and fashions of the day through their appearance in exhibitions and magazines of the late 1920s. The glassware made up to 1930 was colourful, whereas the items made after 1930 were frosted and more subdued, in response to the Great Depression. Not content with the success of his own designs, Guéron copied the Art Deco designs of Charles Schneider (Muller Frères too). The resultant litigation lasted for six long years, until 1932 when the case was settled out of court. Both companies were financially devastated by the process. However, the great artistic fame of the Degué glassworks is due to the collaboration with the talentuous French ceramist Edouard Cazaux from 1928. This famed ceramist is the author of some remarkable molded models. These ones are very stylized in a very thick molded glass to represent strong and geometric patterns. The French ocean liner, Normandie is a showcase of French style and taste, but, above all, a symbol of France’s dominance of the luxury market. The Cristalleries de Compiègne ( Degué) was given the commission to create 6000 individual crafted glass panels for the room’s walls. This fabrication of hammered and chiseled panels with their engraved diamond patterns and eglomise finishes by famed French glass painter Auguste Labouret, was the largest assignment ever undertaken by the firm. In 1936, due to the great strikes, the Degué glassworks stopped operating. It was officially closed in 1939 at the outbreak of WWII. Sadly the Normandie caught fire and capsized in New York Harbour in February 1942. Fortunately, some of the great works that graced the ship were removed before the fire and can still be seen today.
