Degue French Art Deco Table Lamp 1920
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
French Art Deco Table Lamp by Edouard Cazaux for Degué, France, 1920s.
Exceptional French Art Deco table lamp designed by Edouard Cazaux and produced by Degué, France, circa 1920s.
This rare lamp features a very thick molded glass shade with a bold and highly stylized geometric Art Deco pattern, emblematic of Cazaux’s collaboration with Degué. The glass displays outstanding depth and clarity, showcasing the technical mastery of French Art Deco glassmaking. The lamp is supported by a superb hand-wrought iron base, perfectly complementing the sculptural quality of the shade.
Considered among the finest productions by Degué, this piece is in excellent condition:
No chips
No cracks
No repairs
A fine glass thread, inherent to the manufacturing techniques of the period, is visible and documented (see photo). This is not a defect but a characteristic of authentic early 20th-century molded glass.
The lamp is professionally rewired for your country (US, UK, EU, etc.) and is compatible with LED bulbs.
A museum-quality example of French Art Deco lighting, ideal for collectors of Degué glass, Edouard Cazaux designs, and 1920s decorative arts.
About Degué and Edouard Cazaux
Degué was the artistic name of David Guéron (1892–1950), an enigmatic and influential figure in French Art Deco glass. Born in Turkey to Spanish Jewish parents, Guéron settled in France after serving in the French Foreign Legion during World War I. Following the success of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, he established his glassworks in Compiègne, later opening Verrerie d’Art Degué in Paris.
Degué became renowned for his innovative cameo glass, internally decorated vessels, sandblasted monochrome designs, and dramatic lighting fixtures. His production included vases, bowls, perfume bottles...

Vintage and Antique Lighting for Sale: Unique Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Sconces and Other Lighting for Your Home
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
