Degué: Large Art Nouveau-style Wrought-iron Chandelier

Degué: a significant Art Nouveau-era wrought-iron chandelier, dating from the early 20th century, featuring an elegant naturalistic design inspired by grapevines.

The frame, made of patinated wrought iron, is suspended by three long arms and is arranged around a large central bowl.

The rim is richly adorned with vine leaves, grape clusters, and vine shoots, while the side arms end in large scrolls.

The chandelier features a large central bowl made of marbled glass and three matching conical shades.

The glass shades feature beautiful speckled hues in shades of beige, purple, brown, and orange, which appear particularly warm when the chandelier is lit.

The upper rosette, also designed in a botanical style, harmoniously completes the composition.

A chandelier of fine decorative quality, characteristic of the naturalistic taste of Art Nouveau, remarkable for its size, its wrought-iron vine motif, and the harmony of its four glass shades.
