Table lamp in Art Nouveau style with violet pâte de verre tulip and a hammered forged iron mount, signed Degué and dating from the 1930s.
Description from the seller
Art Deco table lamp combining a glass tulip signed Degué with a hammered, wrought-iron mount. The Degué Art Glassworks, founded by David Guéron in Compiègne, was active from 1926 to 1939.
The Tulip
Bell-shaped form with a flared, rolled edge. The glass is faulted to marbled, shifting from powder pink to aubergine purple, with orange and ochre inclusions. Signature “Degué” acid-etched on the rim. When lit, it spreads a warm, nuanced glow.
The Mount
Wrought iron with a brown patina and hammered decoration. The tulip is suspended in a geometric diamond-shaped frame adorned with a stylized floral rosette. The hexagonal base bears a radiating motif.
