A very rare large art deco lamp made in France around 1930 by the famous Paris France based company of Francis Hubens. The thick shade is made in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass. During the interbellum Hubens was a designer and producer of art deco lighting in Paris (at 68 rue des Archives). He mainly used Degué made shades for his lamps chandeliers and wall lights. The Hubens signed shades are models Degue exclusively produced for Hubens. The base is in bronze or solid brass. A lamp with identical column but with a different floor plate and a shade in paper is represented in the 1933 Hubens catalog (which is no part of this sale). Note the matching decoration of base and shade.

The lamp is 45,1 cm (17-3/4") high and the shade has a diameter of 17,5 cm. The shade is signed Degué and the base shows the FH foundry marks for Francis Hubens. It's in excellent condition. Only minor traces of wear to the base. A nice patina for this 90 years old authentic art deco lamp. I rewired the lamp with stylish cloth covered twisted cord. For the States I will place an American candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug.
