A wrought iron art deco lamp with shade by Degue,
circa late 1920's
The stylised frame supporting the frosted shade
32cm high
35cm wide
Slight wear to the metal and very small "nicks" to the shade.

This is a very stylish lamp, the shade giving off that very French period "white light" when lit (because of the frosting), and the frame having a very strong period shape.
