Pure Art Deco w. Stylish Geometrical Flower Glass Shade Pendant, Signed Hugue

About the Item

Another top quality, antique French pendant light with a perfect Art Deco design. This stunning and finer quality Art Deco ceiling lamp was realized by glass studio Léon Auguste Hugue (Paris, 1878 – Clichy-la-Garenne, 1970) who began his career as a bronze fitter. In 1907, he established his own bronze lighting manufacturing business at 14 rue Pierre Levée. In 1913, he created a new limited partnership, "L. Hugue, fabrique de bronzes et d’appareils d’éclairage," at number 10 in the same street. The business grew, and around 1925, he set up a factory at 68 rue des Rondeaux, where he worked with the help of his son Maurice Léon, also a bronze fitter. At the 1927 Exhibition in Madrid, he received the Gold Medal diploma alongside Francis Hubens. Strangely, in 1932, Léon Hugue sold his company to Charles Frères, only to re-purchase just the factory at 68 rue des Rondeaux two years later, in 1934. Following the death of his third wife, Marie-Félicie Foussard, in 1938 (he was married four times in total), Léon Hugue had to buy back her shares, which had been inherited by his granddaughter Claudine-Jeanne Ranc, also the granddaughter of another major bronze lighting manufacturer, Charles Ranc. His company remained active until at least the beginning of World War II. Léon Hugue passed away in Clichy-la-Garenne shortly before his 92nd birthday. The stylish shade -in frosted and molded glass- offers a wealth of geometric patterns in relief. This is a stunning example of Art Deco design by one of the great lighting studios of the period. Like all timeless designs, it would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. This good size and stylish Art Deco fixture from the heydays of the European Art Deco era will bring class, style and the most beautiful warm light in your living space. The geometric design of this superb shade is simply to die for and it comes with 'rope chain' which is simply perfect to connect the stunning shade and the striking and matching design, silvered bronze canopy with. The combination of the geometrical glass shade and the perfect bronze canopy is an absolute joy to look at. Both with the light switched on and off, this rare light fixture, signed by French craftsman Hugue, is a real eyecatcher that can be used in virtually every kind of room. Thanks to its timeless design and beauiful quality materials it brings class and beauty like no modern fixture ever could. Over the past hundred years several generations have enjoyed this rare fixture and this kind of quality will last at least another century. If you appreciate its style, quality, excellent condition and true beauty as much as we do then you could be its next custodian. Mind you, this good size Art Deco two-light fixture is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over and our fair price even includes perfect packing and also free worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Current height x diameter: 32 x 15 inches. Height without the rope and canopy: 9.5 inches. Because of the rope we can also adjust the height. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
