Pair of Art Deco Frosted Glass & Silvered Bronze Slip Shade Sconces signed Degué

This exceptional pair of Art Deco slip shade sconces, signed by the renowned French glassmaker Degué and crafted in France circa 1935, exemplifies the era’s daring fusion of artistry and modernism. The frosted glass shades are adorned with a mesmerizing motif of organic cubist fractals—sharp lines and multidimensional forms that seem to echo the order and chaos found in nature itself. These intricate designs lend the pieces a dynamic visual energy, capturing the forward-thinking creativity that defined the golden age of Art Deco.

The shades are delicately held within silvered bronze frameworks, creating a striking balance between the textured surfaces of the glass and the smooth metallic sheen of the frames. The interplay between light and material imbues the sconces with a sculptural presence, while the softly diffused glow that radiates through the frosted glass casts delicate patterns in light and shadow, adding captivating depth to any interior space.

Signed by Degué—a name celebrated for its mastery in French glassmaking—the sconces are more than fixtures; they are works of art that harmonize form, functionality, and innovation. Whether gracing the walls of an elegant entryway, a sophisticated living area, or a curated collection, they stand as timeless artifacts of Art Deco design, embodying the era’s elegance, ambition, and imaginative spirit. Newly rewired to American Standards, these sconces accommodate one candelabra base bulb each achieving up to 60 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
