Fantastic Factory Original Signed "DEGUE' FRANCE" Art Deco French Cameo Glass Lamp. This item has an Acid Cut Back design of semi abstract Deco Peacock Feathers in a wide band around the center of the Glass Lamp. The Acid Cut Back Bands are cut from the Mottled Green outer layer of glass, back to the Clear Layer of Glass below it. The Signature appears on the lower side section of the Lamp and when the wood base is removed, you can see the word FRANCE also engraved. The Degue' Glass Company was a direct competitor to the Schieder Glass Co. and was involved in a Major Law Suit which almost destroyed BOTH of these fine Art Deco Glass Houses. The base has factory drilled hole for the hardware to go through and one can see the in the making top rim of the Glass Lamp/Vase which show that this item was always meant to be a lamp and not an after product made from an actual vase. The Hardware has some issues, such as a replaced socket, some enamel loss on the metal work and a large area of wood loss to the pedestal foot. Honestly, I would suggest replacing the wood foot with a vintage Brass Foot and cleaning the worn enamel work off the hardware, but I will let the new owner decide if this is what they wish for this fantastic and RARE item. The Glass section measures 11 1/2" tall and 5 3/4" wide while the entire lamp assembled measures 28" tall. Shipping is $16.00 plus Optional Insurance available for an Additional Fee in the Continental U.S.
