Hugue, Art Deco Chandelier, France 1920s

About the Item

Superb art deco chandelier by Hugue in silvered metal and frosted glass molded in protruding geometric shapes. All glass elements signed. Dimensions in cm ( H x D ) : 44.5 x 60 Very good condition. Oxidation and minimal chipping to glass usual of this type of item. Shipped disassembled. Léon Auguste Hugue (Paris, 1878 – Clichy-la-Garenne, 1970) began his career as a bronze fitter. In 1907, he established his own lighting bronze manufacturing business at 14 rue Pierre Levée. In 1913, he created a new limited partnership, "L. Hugue, fabrique de bronzes et d’appareils d’éclairage," at number 10 on the same street. The business grew, and around 1925, he set up a factory at 68 rue des Rondeaux, where he worked with the help of his son Maurice Léon, also a bronze fitter (see images 13 and 16). At the 1927 French Exhibition in Madrid, he received the Gold Medal diploma alongside Francis Hubens. Strangely, in 1932, Léon Hugue sold his company to Charles Frères, only to repurchase just the factory at 68 rue des Rondeaux two years later, in 1934. Following the death of his third wife, Marie-Félicie Foussard, in 1938 (he was married four times in total), Léon Hugue had to buy back her shares, which had been inherited by his granddaughter Claudine-Jeanne Ranc, also the granddaughter of another major lighting bronze manufacturer, Charles Ranc. His company remained active until at least the beginning of World War II. Léon Hugue passed away in Clichy-la-Garenne shortly before his 92nd birthday.
