About the Item

French Art Deco pendant chandelier with frosted pressed glass shade by Degue. Beautifully shaped glass shade features stylized flower decoration, glass surface signed "Degue”, nickel-plated brass fixture. One socket for the E27 light bulb. Dimensions: diameter 35 cm / 13.77 in, height 65 cm / 25.59 in. Degue is the artist's signature of glassmaker and industrialist David Guéron, founder and owner of the company Verrerie D'Art Degué in Paris (1926-1939). David Guéron, of Turkish origin and former member of the foreign legion, founded the Cristalleries De Compiegne in the early 1920s. Anxious to expand his business to luxury glassware as a whole, in 1926 he founded a Manufacture Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris: The Verrerie D'Art Degué. He also opened a shop to exhibit his models at 41, rue de Paris. Degué glass was intended for the collections of the few privileged Americans and French who could afford it. These extravagant works were rarely seen outside the homes of such collectors but influenced the taste and fashion of the day thanks to their appearance in exhibitions and magazines of the late 1920s. The great artistic fame of the Degué glass factory has been associated with cooperation with the talented French ceramist Edouard Cazaux since 1928. This famous ceramist is the author of some wonderful molded models. They are very stylized from very thick molded glass to represent strong and geometric patterns. In 1936, due to large strikes, the glass factory stopped working. It was officially closed in 1939 during the outbreak of the Second World War. The buildings of the Compiegne factory still exist today.
