The company lead by David Guéron, founded in 1925. Guéron employed the ceramist and designer Edouard Cazaux as his artistic director and head designer. In 1936 production stopped and the company finally closed down in 1939. This model is represented in the old Degué catalog under #521. Both shades are signed Degué. Hubens was a Paris based (68 rue des Archives) company producing Art Deco lighting during the interbellum. In the 20s Hubens mainly used moulded-pressed shades produced by Degué, as can be seen in the old Hubens catalogs. The mounts are marked FH for Francis Hubens. Of course the Hubens and the Degué catalogs are no part of this sale. At the moment I have an identical pair Hubens sconces in the version of normal wall lights. See my other listings. The sconces are about 25 cm high (9-27/32) and project some 25 cm from the wall. I have re-nickeled and patinated the fixtures. The lamps come rewired. For the USA Canada or Japan I will wire them with American candelabra base sockets. For European countries they come with E14 ones. Check out over 400 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.
