History:
Marcel Degué (1888-1968):
Marcel Degué was a French glassmaster and designer, born in 1888 in Paris, recognized for his exceptional creations in pressed and molded glass, especially during the Art Deco period.
He is considered one of the most influential artisans of the Art Deco movement, contributing to shaping the aesthetics of the early 20th century.
Career and Influence:
Degué founded his own workshop in Paris in the 1920s, where he experimented with glass and perfected the technique of pressed-molded glass.
This method involved creating glass pieces from molds, which allowed for complex shapes and decorative patterns while making production more accessible compared to traditional glassblowing techniques.
This technique became emblematic of Art Deco objects produced in the 1920s and 1930s.
His creations were characterized by stylized geometric patterns, clean shapes, and natural elements (such as butterflies, flowers, or birds) integrated into harmonious and modern compositions. He also worked with famous designers of the time, notably for lighting objects, vases, paperweights, and glass sculptures.
Collaboration with Famous Houses:
Degué collaborated with major houses like Lalique and Daum, but it was under his own "Degué" signature that he left a lasting mark in the field of decorative glass. His works are now highly prized by collectors and art lovers for their finesse and innovative character.
Style and Legacy:
Art Deco, of which Degué was a key representative, was a movement that sought to combine the elegance of classical art with industrial modernity. Degué's pieces are perfect examples of this fusion between traditional craftsmanship and industrial production.
Although decorative, his creations were also functional, as seen in his chandeliers, vases, and lamps, which served as works of art while also being everyday objects.
Today, pieces signed by Degué are highly sought after in the antique market and are considered major works of 20th-century heritage in design and glassmaking.
