Fine vertical fluting follows the outer contours, emphasizing the symmetry and giving the glass a subtle sense of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shades are held within angular cast-bronze frames, their darkened nickel-plated finish forming a strong geometric outline around the pale glass. The two arms rise diagonally from a pointed lower junction, creating a V-shaped composition that feels distinctly Art Deco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Degué\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDegué was the Parisian art glass firm founded by David Guéron (1892–1950), a Turkish-born French entrepreneur and central figure of Art Deco glass. Established in 1926, the workshop produced lighting and decorative objects defined by bold geometry, layered glass, and experimental surface treatments, with works typically signed Degué.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidely commissioned for cinemas, ocean liners, and modernist interiors—including the French liner Normandie—Degué became a benchmark of interwar French decorative arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52944172351799,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/g0-6Pov8UrLeQ8-09GZuxRarRI0Omrpp_LwE_tKMlZQ.jpg?v=1788556675","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/pair-of-french-art-deco-glass-sconces-by-degue-1930s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
