Description from the seller
The name Degué is commonly associated with the French glass art master David Guéron. The brand name Degué is derived from the initial letters of David Guéron. Degué belongs to the French Art Deco movement of the interwar period. With the outbreak of World War II the factory closed and Guéron moved to the United States where he died in 1950. The chandelier is in good condition but shows signs of use, namely some scratches on the blakers, but barely visible up close. The chandelier dates from the 1920s. This is clearly evident in the beautiful wrought work from which the shade hangs. The glassware is marbled glass paste in various pastel colors that emit a warm, beautiful light. In the last photo you can see one of the three original mid-pieces of the armature reaching to the ceiling. These mid-pieces are included. In the other photos you can see chains that were used to shorten the height of the chandelier. These chains are not part of the chandelier and are not included. The total height from the ceiling to the shade, measured with the original rods, is about 90 cm. The chandelier is supplied with the original French bayonet fittings, which you can replace with the current fittings, but the bayonet bulbs (size B22) are available at specialist shops, but they are also sold online: for example at Bol.com, Amazon.com, and others. The chandelier is supplied exclusively within the European Union.
