About the Item

Large French Art Deco Table Lamp by Degué, France, 1920s. Exceptional French Art Deco table lamp by Degué (Cristalleries de Compiègne), created in France during the 1920s. This sculptural lamp features a blown glass shade mounted on an elegant crescent-shaped wrought iron frame, a design that perfectly reflects the refined geometry and luxury of the Art Deco period. The glass shade is signed “Degué” (see photo), confirming its authenticity. The softly diffused light highlights the quality of the glasswork and makes this lamp an ideal accent for both classic and contemporary interiors. Measurements Height: 15.2 in (38.5 cm) Width: 14 in (35.5 cm) Depth: 5.3 in (13.5 cm) Original Art Deco period piece Signed Degué glass shade Blown glass with refined surface treatment Wrought iron structure Newly wired for your country (US, EU, Australia, etc.) E14 socket LED compatible A rare and elegant example of French Art Deco lighting, perfect for collectors of Degué glass, Art Deco lamps, and important 20th-century French decorative arts. Degué was the artistic identity of David Guéron (1892–1950), one of the most fascinating and influential figures in French Art Deco glass. Born in Turkey to Spanish Jewish parents, Guéron settled in France after serving in the French Foreign Legion during World War I. Following the success of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, Guéron established glassworks in Compiègne, northeast of Paris, initially producing functional glassware. By 1926, he turned decisively toward art glass, founding the Verrerie d’Art Degué in Paris, with both a factory and a gallery to promote his creations. Degué became renowned for his cameo glass, rich colors, and internally decorated glass, often inspired by nature but executed with bold Art Deco stylization. His production included vases, lamps, chandeliers, bowls, perfume bottles, paperweights, and architectural lighting, notably half-round and molded glass shades with swirling internal coloration or sandblasted geometric designs. In the late 1920s, Degué collaborated with the celebrated French ceramist Edouard Cazaux, whose highly stylized molded glass models—thick, sculptural, and powerfully geometric—represent some of the most iconic works of the period. Degué’s international prestige culminated in his participation in the decoration of the legendary French ocean liner SS Normandie, the ultimate symbol of French luxury and modern design. The Cristalleries de Compiègne (Degué) were commissioned to produce 6,000 individually crafted glass panels for the ship’s interiors. These monumental panels featured hammered and chiseled glass, engraved diamond patterns, and églomisé finishes, executed in collaboration with renowned glass painter Auguste Labouret. This was the largest commission ever undertaken by the Degué glassworks. The factory ceased operations in 1936 amid widespread strikes and officially closed in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II. Although the Normandie tragically caught fire and capsized in New York Harbor in 1942, several of its decorative masterpieces—including Degué’s glasswork—were saved and survive today. Today, Degué glass and lighting are highly sought after by collectors worldwide and are considered essential examples of French Art Deco design.

A highly collectible early Art Deco lamp, ideal for a desk, console, or side table, and a superb example of Le Verre Français lighting by Charles Schneider, combining artistic glass with functional design. Charles Schneider (1881–1953) is one of the most important figures of French Art Deco glass. Born in France, he began his career as a designer for Daum Frères in Nancy, where he acquired a deep knowledge of glassmaking and Art Nouveau aesthetics. In 1913, Charles Schneider and his brother Ernest Schneider founded their own glassworks in Épinay-sur-Seine, near Paris. After World War I, Schneider emerged as a major innovator, developing bold forms, rich colors, and advanced techniques including blown molded glass, acid-etched decoration, and layered glass. In 1919, Schneider introduced the commercial brand Le Verre Français, created to distribute high-quality artistic glassware to a broader audience while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship. Pieces from this line often feature strong geometric or stylized natural motifs, vibrant contrasting colors, and thick, sculptural glass — hallmarks of early French Art Deco design. Le Verre Français production included vases, bowls, sculptures, and lighting, with lamps being particularly prized for their combination of functional modernism and artistic expression. Many examples are signed “Le Verre Français” or “Ch. Schneider”, though early works may be unsigned. Throughout the 1920s, Schneider exhibited internationally and achieved significant recognition, standing alongside Lalique, Daum, Muller Frères, and Sabino. Today, original Le Verre Français lamps...
