Deux cornets de roses en verre moulé, attribués à Degué

Un verre givré, d'un blanc satiné, prend la forme d'un cornet. La pointe, quadrillée de losanges en léger relief, s'élargit vers une gerbe de roses stylisées aux pétales enroulés en volutes nettes. Chaque verre s'appuie sur une platine triangulaire d'un gris argenté, au brossé sobre, dont l'angle aigu répond à la pointe du cornet. Le mat de la surface retient la lumière et la fait courir le long des arêtes, qui se dessinent en gris tendre. Fleur, géométrie et clarté : l'Art déco dans sa forme la plus nette.

Derrière le nom Degué se tient David Guéron, 1892-1950, à la tête des Cristalleries de Compiègne. Au lendemain de l'Exposition de 1925, la manufacture se tourne vers le verre de luxe et adopte en 1926 la marque Verrerie d'art Degué, avec usine et galerie à Paris. Elle travaille le verre moulé pressé et la pâte de verre, et ne signe à la main qu'une partie de ses pièces. Un procès avec Schneider, réglé en 1932, puis la grève de 1936 l'affaiblissent ; elle est dissoute au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La galerie rattache ces appliques à Degué, sans dire si elles sont signées.

Frosted glass of a satin white takes the form of a cornet. Its point, quilted with lozenges in low relief, widens into a spray of stylised roses whose petals curl in crisp volutes. Each glass rests on a triangular plate of silvery grey, soberly brushed, its sharp angle answering the point of the cornet. The matt surface holds the light and lets it run along the ridges, drawn in soft grey. Flower, geometry and clarity: Art Deco at its most precise.

Behind the name Degué stands David Guéron, 1892 to 1950, head of the Cristalleries de Compiègne. In the wake of the 1925 Exhibition the works turned to luxury glass and in 1926 adopted the mark Verrerie d'art Degué, with a factory and gallery in Paris. It worked in moulded pressed glass and pâte de verre, signing only part of its output by hand. A lawsuit with Schneider, settled in 1932, then the strike of 1936 weakened the firm; it was dissolved at the start of the Second World War. The gallery links these lights to Degué without saying whether they are signed.
