Degué - A pair of French art deco lamps

DEGUÉ A nice pair of French art deco lamps in wrought iron made between 1926 and 1933. The forged bases hold signed shades in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass produced by Degué. This model is represented as shade #532 in the old Degué product catalog. The lamps are in very good condition. The iron bases have a nice egg gloss appearance and deep-brown patina. The lamps are 35 cm high. They are rewired with new cloth covered twisted cord and equiped with a stylish brass and porcelain E14 socket so you will have no difficulties finding suitable bulbs for it. Originaly old French lamps had B22 bayonet sockets. But they are highly unpractical. Good quality modern light bulbs are hardly available. And for professional restorers 90 years old sockets are forbidden to use. So I wire lamps as these with E14 sockets for which bulbs are widely available. For European countries I will add a 15 watt bulb. For the States or Japan I will rewire the lamps with a American candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug. The Degué catalog is of coarse no part of this sale. Safe packaging guaranteed : As specialized restorer of French art Deco lighting for over 20 years I ship my parcels worldwide with the fragile items well protected and fully insured.
