Buiret-Debeaurain
A French 1930 modernist art deco lamp in chrome plated pressed brass and solid bronze. A rare collector's item. The base holds a tube in clear frosted glass. This lamp was designed around 1930 by F.Guiraud for Buiret-Debeaurain a producer of metal components for furniture construction and navy. It is represented in the 1931 product Buiret catalog. The lamp is 28,8 cm high and 13,7 cm in diameter (11,34" high 5,39"wide). It is in good condition. Some wear to the original chrome plating on the floor plate and a small dent on the ball shaped part at the back. The shade shows some small scratches on the inside of the glass no chips no cracks. Modernist French 1930 lamps make huge prices at French auction houses so I am happy I could lay my hands on this one. I rewired the base with an American candelabra base socket.

Foundry Buiret-Debeaurain
The history of the Buiret foundry begins when Philibert Beauvisage returns to the village of Tully in the Northwest part of France after working in a foundry in Paris for many years. In Tully he started to produce locksmith items as well as fire pumps. In 1853 together with Charles Marqui he opened a larger workshop with iron foundry. In 1856 they bought a steam engine. Ph. Beauvisage died in 1862 after which his wife Elbanie Debeaurain ran the company together with her father in law and Zénobé Buiret. Elbanie and Zénobé married, and the company was renamed Buiret-Debeaurain in 1866. They opened a shop in Paris where they sold metal parts for furniture buildings and the navy. After the first world war their son Joly Buiret modified and considerably enlarged the factory which by then spread over a 25 acres site. In 1930 Buiret commissioned two designers to create products like doorhandles and lamps in a modernist art deco style: E.Dekeirel and F.Guiraud. The lamp on offer was designed by Guiraud. After the second world war the Buiret hardware store specialized in copper items for construction and navy. The foundry ceased its activity in 1987.
