Item History & Price
Degué
A beautiful French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass holding shades by Degué in frosted moulded-pressed glass. Degué , the company of David Guéron, opened their doors in 1926. Guéron employed the ceramist and designer Cazaux as his artistic director and head designer. In 1936 production stopped and it finaly closed down in 1939. The high quality fixture has nice detailed decorations. The central bowl is one large shade and not fou...r slip shades held by the mounting. Two of the four arms can be turned sidewards for the shade to enter.The heavy pyramid shaped bowl is unsigned. The four side-shades are all signed Degue. The chandelier is 95, 5 cm high (37-5/8") and has a diameter of 63 cm (24-3/4"). It's in good condition. The fixture has been replated and patinated and the chandelier is newly wired. It holds five European sockets. I will wire it for the States with a US standard socket and four candelabra base ones. Free shipping offered. Priority mail with full insurance. Very safe package. The lamp will be shipped in two parcels.

French lamps and wiringArt deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
