French Art Deco Plafonnier Signed Degue c.1930
We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely wrought iron and pate de verre glass bowl plafonnier, which is signed Degue on the bowl. The bowl is in shades of purple, mauve, green, pink, orange fading to pale blue at the bottom. Please view the photographs which form an integral part of the item description. The bowl is held within an ornate wrought iron circlet, with spirals, stems and leaves around it and with three external spirals. The whole is suspended by three wrought iron lengths, which hook onto the ornate wrought iron ceiling rose, which is, of course, included. Please note that the wrought iron is a gunmetal or pewter colour as it can look slightly golden in some of the photos when it catches the light.
Pate de Verre is a glass moulding technique where crushed glass (the size of sugar granules) in various colours is mixed with a medium into a paste, which is literally the meaning in French. It is then placed in a mould, fired and the coloured granules fuse together enabling subtle tones to be created. The surface can be left rough like sugar, or polished. Although the moulds can be used more than once, the pattern created by the glass granules are unique, therefore each piece is an original.
The plafonnier was made by David Gueron, 1892-1950, who, after service in WWI when he was wounded and pensioned off, set up his glassworks in Compiegne to produce tableware and functional glass. However in 1926, he opened Verrerie d'Art Degue in Paris at Boulevard Malsherbes with a gallery at 41 Avenue de Paris, to promote French art glass, which he signed Degue.
His glassworks created lampshades, chandeliers, lamps, plafonniers, as well as vases, bowls, paperweights and perfume bottles. As these items were expensive, they were mostly found in the collections of rich Americans or French. Up to 1930, the glassware was very vibrant and colourful, but after 1930, because of the great Depression, it became more subdued.
The glass works, having been in financial decline after a 6 year litigation with Muller Freres and having been hit by strikes, closed in 1936 and officially closed in 1939 prior to WWII. David Gueron returned to France after the war until his death in 1950.
Total drop from ceiling to bottom of bowl: 35" - 89cm
Maximum width: 21 1/2" - 54.6cm
Diameter of bowl: 13 5/8" - 34.6cm
Diameter of ceiling rose: 5 3/4" - 14.55cm
Material: Wrought iron and pate de verre glass.
Condtion: Very good. There is no damage to the wrought iron. There are no chips or cracks to the glass bowl, only a couple of surface scratches.
