A wonderful pair of large 1925-1930 French art deco wall lights. The solid brass or bronze mounts hold two beautiful panels in clear frosted molded-pressed glass by Noverdy in Dijon France. Both shades are signed Noverdy France Deposé on the inside of the shade.

The sconces are 30,5 cm high (12") 32 cm wide (12,6 inches) and project some 11,5 cm (4-1/2") from the wall. They are in excellent condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the mounts. The fixtures come rewired. I placed American candelabra base sockets.

NOVERDY - Verrerie des Vosges : René & Jean Drouhot.
In 1924 the businessmen from Dijon father and son Jean and René Drouhot purchased Verrerie des Vosges. A glass factory in the Moselle based villages of Hoffmuhl and Lutzelbourg. In 1925 Jean and René Drouot also took over the société anonyme des Verreries de Dijon. Which was a glass factory founded in 1893 producing tableware. They renamed it Nouvelle Verrerie de Dijon. The lamp shades that were produced in their plants are often unsigned. Sometimes signed Noverdy (for Nouvelle Verrerie de Dijon). And a few models were signed Verrerie des Vosges. Sometimes we can see the signature Noverdi on acid-engraved bowls or vases. In 1928 a certain monsieur Jean Noverdy won a price at an exhibition. The home address of this price winning fantasy figure was the house of Jean Drouhot. For the rest there is not one file or register where the name (jean) Noverdy shows up.
