Hubens & Degué - corner wall sconces
A nice pair
of authentic 1925-1930 French art deco corner wall lights in
nickel plated solid brass or bronze by Francis Hubens
holding two beautiful slip shades in frosted molded-pressed glass by
Degué. The company lead by David Guéron, founded in 1925. Guéron employed
the ceramist and designer Edouard Cazaux as his artistic director and head
designer. In 1936 production stopped and the company finally closed down in
1939. This model is represented in the old Degué catalog under #521. Both
shades are signed Degué. Hubens was a Paris based (68 rue des Archives)
company producing Art Deco lighting during the interbellum. In the 20s Hubens
mainly used moulded-pressed shades produced by Degué, as can be seen in the old
Hubens catalogs. The mounts are marked FH for Francis Hubens. Of course the
Hubens and the Degué catalogs are no part of this sale.
At the moment I have an identical pair Hubens sconces
in the version of normal wall lights. See my other listings.
The sconces are about 25 cm high
(9-27/32") and project some 25 cm from the wall. They are
in very good condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the
fixtures. The lamps come rewired. For the USA Canada or Japan I
will wire them with American candelabra base sockets. For European countries they come
with E14 ones.
