DEGUÉ

Abeautifulpair of 1930French art deco slip shade wall sconces innickel plated solid brass. Themounts hold large slip shades in thick molded-pressed glass by Degué, the company founded by David Guéron in 1926. The Degué factory stopped production in 1936 and closed down in 1939.This model is never signed. Most people with little knowledge of French art deco lighting attribute these shades to Noverdy. There are many reasons why I\'m certain it\'s Degué alright, to name one : see picture below taken of a 1930 catalog of the lamps of blacksmith A.Vlieghe and bross. This slip shade model was used by numerous lamp designers for their wall sconces and chandeliers. I have lots of different versions in my 1930 lamp catalogs but never was able to identify the maker of the mounts of the sconces on offer.

The wall lights are 34 cm high. (13-3/8\") and 21 cm long (8-1/4\"). They come about 16 cm of the wall.The sconcesare in excellent condition.The fixtures have been replated and patinated. The sconces will come rewired with US candelabra base sockets. For Europe Australia or Asia I can place E14 or B22 sockets.

French lamps and wiring

Art 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.
