David Guéron (1892 - 1950)
Degué is the artist's signature of the glassmaker and industrialist David Guéron, founder and owner of the Verrerie d’Art Degué company in Paris (1926 – 1939).
David Guéron, of Turkish origin and a former member of the Foreign Legion, began by founding the Cristalleries De Compiègne in the early 1920s.
Eager to expand his business into the entire luxury glassworks sector, he founded a factory on Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris in 1926: Verrerie d’Art Degué. He also opened a shop at 41, rue de Paris to display his models.
He then mainly manufactured chandeliers and vases, illustrating this with the use of an extensive range of colors.
In the service of the art glass, creator Édouard Cazaux designed several original pieces, while David Guéron himself created a few vases, all signed Degué.
The reputation of its glassware models for lighting fixtures (suspension basins, street lamps, chandeliers or tulips, made of pressed molded glass, etc.), particularly of the 'Art Deco' style, also benefited from the hiring of several French glass artists (Charles Schneider's company).
The outbreak of the Second World War ended the activity of the Verrerie d’Art, and David Guéron left France in 1939.
Some signed pieces are highly sought after by collectors today, especially those in the 'floral style' (early 1930s).
The buildings of the Compiègne factory still exist today.
