HUBENS & DEGUÉ FRENCH 1930 ART DECO CHANDELIER. Bronze muller daum era lamp
A stunning French 1930 art deco chandelier in nickel plated solid brass or bronze by the famous Paris based company of Francis Hubens holding nine signed panels in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass. Francis Hubens was producer of art deco lighting in Paris (at 68 rue des Archives). He mainly used Degué made shades. The panels are signed Hubens and marked Degue France 611 on the rim. Note the beautiful match of the decoration of shades and bronze mount. A rare masterpiece of French art deco lighting. The chandelier has a drop of 64 cm (25-13/64″) and a diameter of 59 cm (23-15/64″). It is in excellent condition. The fixture has been renickeled and patinated and it is newly wired. It holds nine American candelabra base sockets. For European countries I will place E14 ones. When you make an offer please let me know to which country I must send the lamp so that I can calculate my best price. Check out over 300 other French art deco lamps in my shop. French lamps and wiring. Art deco lamps made in France were equiped with B22 bayonet sockets. For most countries like Europe or the US such sockets are practicaly impossible to use. For instance in the States 110 volt bulbs with B22 fitters are obscure, very hard to find and only one model bulb in very limited wattages is available. In spite of what sellers of unrestored pieces of poor quality claim in their ads when they offer lamps with bayonet caps sockets : except for the UK and Australia French chandeliers and lamps need to be rewired for your country. In order to fit Edison large or small screw base bulbs as used in the USA, B22 sockets have to be replaced by American candelabra base or standard/medium size Edison screw-in sockets. E14 and E27 are modern replacements for European countries. An additional complication is that the size thread used in early French lighting to connect the sockets to the chandelier mountings or lamp bases is not compatible with the modern size threads used in the USA and Europe. New American or European sockets do not just screw on to the old lamp fixtures. In order to make it possible to use an original old French chandelier or lamp with modern screw bulb bases, a specialized restorer will have to re-tap the threads. All my cleaned and restored chandeliers, sconces and lamps come rewired with the correct sockets you will need to use modern bulbs in your country.
