About the Item

French Art Deco geometric motif chandelier signed Degue featuring four wing shaped frosted and molded art glass panels with chevron design, jagged ends and polished details. The architectural panels jut upward and outward in an unusual star shape. The whole is supported by a streamline nickeled bronze original armature bearing a tubular central stem decorated with an intricate lightning bolt design and capped by a matching geometric motif canopy. Signed Degue and Compiegne, France. Compeigne was a small commune in Northern France located on the river Oise Can be lengthened or shortened for a surcharge Rewired for American use with four candelabra sockets that can house either LED's or incandescent bulbs. Degué was founded by David Guéron (1892 – 1950). "David Gueron, of Turkish origin and a former fighter of the French Foreign Legion, was the founder of the "Cristalleries De Compiegne". This glassworks mainly produced household glass in the early 1920's. David Gueron soon discovered that he wanted more with his capacities in the glass industry. In 1926 he founded a new factory, which he called "Verrerie D'Art Degue" and put his full attention on the designing and production of Art Deco luxury art-glass. His factory was located on the "Boulevard Malesherbes" and his showroom was on the "41 rue de Paris". Gueron mainly produced vases, lamps and colorful chandeliers. From 1928, Degué collaborated with the French ceramist Edouard Cazaux. This collaboration produced wonderful items with strong geometric designs in very thick, more subdued frosted molded glass. It is for these items that Degué is possibly best known. Degué was commissioned to create 6000 individual crafted glass panels for the French ocean liner SS Normandie which was launched in 1935. (The Normandie was seized by US authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette and in 1942 whilst being converted to a troopship caught fire and capsized in New York harbor.) The Degué glassworks stopped operating in 1936 due to the great strikes and was officially closed when David Gueron shut his glassworks co. in 1939 at the outbreak of the Second World War. He fled France and was last seen in Paris in 1949. His factory in Compiegne still stands and is nowadays owned by a company selling tiles and doorframes. The old furnace downstairs still has glass melted to its walls.
